This is why most binary modules use a wrapper which separates the non-GPLed code from the GPLed code. See the NVIDIA driver for an example.

Wrapper which separates the non-GPLed code from the GPLed code ?

They try to make module usable with >1 version of kernel. You can not write such a wrapper NOW. You need to add exception like it's done for userspace programs ! And only copyright holder can add such exception.
