For both modules and statically linked ones, code will remain same.
you will have to put your module_init and module_exit functions like

#ifdef MODULE
module_init(my_mod_init)
module_exit(my_mod_exit)
#endif

You will have to call the module init function in one of the 
initialization functions. I forgot which one is it. Somebody will be 
able to do this.

To get a choce of module statically linked/dynamically linked, please 
follow this procedure

Hth,
