kbuild: improved modversioning support for external modules
With following patch a second option is enabled to obtain symbol information from a second external module when a external module is build. The recommended approach is to use a common kbuild file but that may be impractical in certain cases. With this patch one can copy over a Module.symvers from one external module to make symbols (and symbol versions) available for another external module. Updated documentation in Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
