[CMake] Building linux kernel module with Cmake

[Suhas Jain]

Thanks for you reply Hendrik
Even I know that Kbuild is a very simple procedure to do so.
But I have a source tree which has applications, drivers and other modules
for different OS as well as hardware architectures and I want to compile all
these folders from a single top level directory. All this can be achieved
with Cmake utlity. I have already compiled other modules. 
I want to know if it possible to use cmake for compiling kernel module

I don't see the point using cmake for such a task. Using Kbuild with a
_very_ 
short Makefile (that never changes) and one Kbuild file, it's already simple

enough. There is also no cross-platform support needed (it's going to be a 
linux kernel module anyway).
