I have a 4" BB-View LCD touchscreen. I have tried the sample code but would like to include the required files into the BBB kernel. I have found a few write ups on how to do this but they all require a recompile of the kernel

I would really rather not do this. Surely there is a way to add the required files and do a rebuild or update......

I'm thinking this is a question for Brett :)

You should be able just compile this up as a kernel module.  I don't see why it needs to be LINKED in hard to the kernel.
That makes it easier to distribute and tinker with.
