Oh, that's quite a bit different, i'm afraid.  You can't simultaneously 
have support compiled into the kernel, and load a module for the 
support.  I thought you meant adding support for something that didn't 
exist previously.  You'll have to build a new kernel, and build the st 
module.  sorry.

And please fix your wordwrap to something around 75 char/line.
