Instead of compiling a kernel/video drivers at every roll-over just to have a patched powernow-k8 module, can I change the name, so to speak, of the kernel I'm using rom the AUR, so I can just compile the AUR kernel once and insert the module from then on while upgrading everything else normally? I've tried inserting it via including it in some of the kernels from the AUR, but whenever I try to insert it it complains about the module not being for that kernel.

modules must match the kernel.
With the -ARCH kernels, we cheat a bit, keeping the kernel uname -r the same, despite y releases (2.6.x.y)... but any change greater than that, or a different kernel and you'll need to rebuild modules.

Is there any reason the modules have to match the kernel, even if they don't change? Couldn't I just set the uname of whatever kernel I'm compiling to whatever arch has and insmod at every upgrade until the patched module isn't suitable?
