how to validate code changes in /linux/kernel directory ?

[Avinash Kumar]

Hello,
I made some changes in file module.c inside /linux/kernel/ directory . How
do i validate if the code compiles fine before i submit a patch? For
changes under linux/drivers/ i normally use something like - make
M=drivers/staging/dgnc. Is there any similar way validate changes under
/linux/kernel/  directory or do i need to compile the kernel ?


Thanks,
Avinash
