If your code is licensed GPL or greater rights then you shouldn't have a
problem. The module loader recognizes

	"GPL"
	"GPL v2"
	"GPL and additional rights"
	"Dual BSD/GPL"
	"Dual MIT/GPL"
	"DUal MPL/GPL"

as legitimate users of _GPL. Any work which is derivative of the kernel
(which in practise I suspect means almost any module) will need a GPL
compatible licence anyway.
