Mikus did you apply the patch in http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10297 in the kernel_xo1.spec? It solves the asm issue. Patch, recompile the kernel install it (including headers and devel) and recompile your driver.
Mavrothal - my point was that I did not want to have to learn all about git, or all about the mechanics of building the olpc kernel - I figured it would take me weeks to get up to speed with all that.
If I can possibly avoid it, I'd prefer to not touch the kernel_xo1.spec myself. Does the #10297 patch fix the missing 'include/trace' as well ?

p.s. Note that my problem concerns adding two drivers to os852. If I install my own kernel, how do I "backport" the drivers from my kernel to os852 ?
