Is it possible? I only want a few selected packages like the kernel (for hardware support), and leave everything else as-is on jessie. How can it be done? Thank you.

You can download Buster linux-image package from Debian repository (it contains kernel, kernel modules and installation scripts in post-inst). I've just tested this scenario but for Stretch (kernel was 4.9.0-5, now it's 4.15.0-2) and VM successfully loaded.
UPD
Also I forget to add that you can install new kernel package from backports Jessie repository directly or add to /etc/apt/sources.list next strings and download new kernel package as ordinary via apt-get:
# Backports repository
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian jessie-backports-sloppy main contrib non-free
If package from backports is enough for you, then it's the best approach then Buster package.

Yes, I mean "they're built to be tested". I did grammar mistakes. Sorry for my English, I'm not native speaker.

Thanks for detailed explanation! Now, I completely understand Debian packets flow. I remove first sentence in my answer to exclude confusing for others. It's not correctly formed.
