dkms: rebuild kernel module for manually installed upstrem kernel

I installed an "upstream kernel" (downloaded deb and installed with dpkg) because of an issue I have with the default kernel (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/956918)
Now the custom battery settings I had are lost. I used the kernel modukle tp-smapi to change this settings on a thinkpad.
If I try to load this module now, it fails because it was not built for this kernel.
The installed packages are "tp-smapi-dkms" and "tp-smapi-source".
Automatic rebuilding seems not to have been triggered.
How can I do it manually?
