[Buildroot] In Buildroot, how to compile kernel modules

Right setting kernel dependencies makes sense, but I'm not so sure about the process: when I have the following makefile
obj-m += /<path-to-module>/measurement_gpio.o
KDIR := /<BR-path>/output/build/linux-2.6.39/
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/<BR-path>/output/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- -C modules
where is then the generated .ko file and how can I make sure that in this build process the .ko file will be moved to a certain place ?
Kind Regards
Frank

Actually, a much better example for simple modules is
package/on2-8170-modules/on2-8170-modules.mk
You need to set VERSION and SITE like for all packages.
You need to set DEPENDENCIES to LINUX (and also in the Config.in you
need to depend on BR2_LINUX_KERNEL).
And you need the following build/install commands:
define ON2_8170_MODULES_BUILD_CMDS
$(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_DIR) $(LINUX_MAKE_FLAGS) M=$(@D)
endef
define ON2_8170_MODULES_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS
$(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_DIR) $(LINUX_MAKE_FLAGS) M=$(@D) \
modules_install
endef

Arnout
