You can try backporting its source, but note that the Linux kernel does not
maintain backward-compatibility for internal kernel APIs (including those
used
for writing drivers) between kernel versions, so it may a bit of work.

It is possible to build a kernel module standalone using some GNU make
tricks,
maybe see:

Or:

(The latter was written by my partner and by me and may be out of date.)
