The Makefile fragment in Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt looks to be
missing some braces.

I have done a look-through through Documentation/kbuild/ and my corrections
(proposed) are attached.
Cc'ed are original author Michael (responsible for comitting changes to
these files?), Sam (kbuild maintainer), Adrian (-trivial maintainer).

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

Support building individual files when dealing with separate modules.
So say you have a module named "foo" which consist of two .o files bar.o
and fun.o.
You can then do:
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.lst
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.i
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` / <= will build all .o files
and link foo.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` foo.ko <= will build the module
and do the modpost step
to create foo.ko
The above will also work if the external module is placed in a
subdirectory using a hirachy of kbuild files.
Thanks to Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> for initial feature
request / bug report.

Update modules.txt with info how to build external modules
with files in several directories.
The question popped up on lkml often enough to warrant this,
let's see if people read this stuff - or google hits it.

First off, thanks for the kbuild docs, they are very useful! Second,
I've attached a patch to modules.txt (from 2.6.14.2) with a "compile"
fix to a Makefile example, and some trivial spelling/grammar nits.
Please let me know if you want the patch in some other format (eg not
MIME), or if I should go bother someone else about it.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
