Excellent, thanks. This is already very useful.

I _think_ building just one module or without rebooting is not possible.

The 'official' instructions: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel/GitBisect

I know some things to reduce what gets build, like f.e. what's described here:
https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#id-1.6.6.7
And there's also a facility to work with _build profiles_.
But I don't know if or how that could be applied to the 'official' instructions
as that deals with the upstream kernel source directly.

Hopefully one of the (more) experienced people chimes in with 
actual useful things ...
