You need to generate a patch to add the code into the relevant kernel directory and update the Makefile accordingly. Since this is messy for beginners, contact me (kaos@ocs.com.au) off list and I can get you through it.
ps. Please tell Outlook to send mail to linux-kernel using plain text instead of quoted printable + HTML, the latter wastes bandwidth and messes up patches.
