Kernel Build without OE tools

[Dennis.Yxun]

Another similar question，compile kernel with OE

I want to try the recent kernel-2.6 (andy's branch), and apply my own
patches
so write a recipe, and put it on my own overlay repository, build with OE

all I want to to test is a kernel module, while using OE, seems that It will
build all
kernel tree, every time it will untar, compile .... and this is really
time-consuming,
is it possible to compile the only module I want.

Or should I use "the old fashioned way",

Guess OE is more suitable for distro release
