[PATCH 0/5] kbuild: allow big modules to sub-divide Makefiles

[Masahiro Yamada]

Recently, Jani Nikula requests a better build system support
for drivers spanning multiple directories.
(better kbuild support for drivers spanning multiple directories?)

I implemented it, so please take a look at it.

Note:
The single targets do not work correctly.

The single targets have never worked correctly:

[1] For instance, "make drivers/foo/bar/baz.o" will descend into
    drivers/foo/bar/Makefile, which may not necessarily specify
    the build rule of baz.o

    It is possible for drivers/foo/Makefile having
        obj-$(CONFIG_BAZ) += bar/baz.o

[2] subdir-ccflags-y does not work.

    The single targets directly descend into the directory of
    that file resides.

    It missed subdir-ccflags-y if it is specifies in parent
    Makefiles.

Perhaps, I will have to manage correct implementation of single targets.
