I think all you really need to do is make your lkm a MISC lkm, and have
your lkm loader do what lkmdispatch() and _lkm_syscall() do for LM_SYSCALL=
=20
lkms.

Another option is to have multiple syscall lkms. Have the first one=20
contain code it needs and code it shares with the second one. Load it=20
first. Save the output of the linking, then use that when loading the=20
second LKM. The second LKM can refer to routines in the first.

That's up to you.

Take care,
