You can pass the --enable-debug-kernel to configure, which should add
-g at the right places while building the kernel module.  I typically
always configure with --enable-debug (for userspace) and
--enable-kernel-debug.

Your kernel build system may also automatically add -g if
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is set in the kernel .config that's installed with
the kernel-devel package.  For instance on a RHEL 5 system I just
looked at, this is the case, so you will always get debugging symbols
in the module even without --enable-kernel-debug.
