just another idea, could use optional <<EOF for "patching section"

%build_kernel_module -m foo <<EOF
some scripting around here
EOF

something similar that %banner does.

i once asked the same from jbj, he replied me with a patch. i didn't apply it 
that time. but the similar patch is taken (attached) from openpkg.

oh, and don't use %Opts, it could conflict with spec macros. 
(hint: %__build_kernel_module_opts)
