Instead of trying to come up with clever hacks, please look at how existing
kernel modules are packaged in RPM Fusion. They always have 2 SRPMs, by
design, a -common package with the userspace parts (if there's no userspace
code at all, it just contains documentation and such) and a package for the
kernel module. They are not built as subpackages because the -common package
is only built when the code changes, whereas the kernel module is rebuilt
for each kernel.
The problems you're encountering have all already be solved, please follow
the existing guidelines:

Any further questions about packaging of kernel modules are best asked on
the rpmfusion-devel mailing list.
