Is it possible to make netmap kernel version agnostic

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. We are deploying netmap to various boxes in the lab but being kernel version 
specific we can not update any of the boxes without re-building the netmap and 
associated driver modules. 
2. Is it possible to make it kernel version agnostic or at have a set of 
precompiled libraries against the a set of kernel versions (not down to the 
lower revision numbers). 
3. Or, is it possible to have netmap build against kernel headers vs full 
kernel source?
