So you have built the kernel ok with OCF support enabled as a module ?

Try something like:

	make -C /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/ M=`pwd` modules modules_install

Not sure exactly what you need here as I always build from my own source
trees and not debian ones ;-)  If that all works then try loading the
modules:

	modprobe ocf
	lsmod | grep ocf
