This is probably a Bad Idea, because it results in a module that was built against a different .config than the kernel it is loaded into. All sorts of things can go wrong (for instance, consider if your local Kconfig did a 'select' to turn on a CONFIG_ variable that wasn't on in the main kernel config). You should just get the module fixed so it can be upstreamed and in-tree rather than live life as an external module (plus, if you do that, you no longer need to do all the updating of code when in-kernel API's change ;) If you need config options for a module,
