Sam Ravnborg 040fcc819a 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

# ===========================================================================
# Module versions
# ===========================================================================
#
# Stage one of module building created the following:
# a) The individual .o files used for the module
# b) A <module>.o file wich is the .o files above linked together
# c) A <module>.mod file in $(MODVERDIR)/, listing the name of the
# the preliminary <module>.o file, plus all .o files
# Stage 2 is handled by this file and does the following
# 1) Find all modules from the files listed in $(MODVERDIR)/
# 2) modpost is then used to
# 3) create one <module>.mod.c file pr. module
# 4) create one Module.symvers file with CRC for all exported symbols
# 5) compile all <module>.mod.c files
# 6) final link of the module to a <module.ko> file
# Step 3 is used to place certain information in the module's ELF
# section, including information such as:
# Version magic (see include/vermagic.h for full details)
# - Kernel release
# - SMP is CONFIG_SMP
# - PREEMPT is CONFIG_PREEMPT
# - GCC Version
# Module info
# - Module version (MODULE_VERSION)
# - Module alias'es (MODULE_ALIAS)
# - Module license (MODULE_LICENSE)
# - See include/linux/module.h for more details
# Step 4 is solely used to allow module versioning in external modules,
# where the CRC of each module is retrieved from the Module.symers file.
