If you contribute your device's kernel to the repository I linked for
you, then we will build and host a signed kernel module for it. When you
go into the WireGuard app's settings page, you will find an option
titled, at least in English, "Download and install kernel module".
Pressing that will attempt to locate the module previously created by
the WireGuard infrastructure and load it onto your device.
