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

And then actually *boot* it and make sure it works.
