No - the event channel driver there can't be built as a module, and
for the forward ported kernels I apparently never tried to build with
a compat setting of 3.0.2 or less (and I didn't care that much either
because the oldest we're actually concerned about is 3.0.4 to cover
some of those very old EC2 systems; I'll add the export at the right
point nevertheless).
