Compile the module, as if you were compiling it with an new Kernel (same
version), install it (make modules modules_install) do a depmod -a (already
done by modules_install, but if you copied the file you've to to it manually)
and load the module. That should work. If it's not working, you have to
restart the system.
Anyway, what's the problem in restarting your system? Because of the last
ptrace and other bugs, an kernel-update might be sensefull.
