Subject[RFC PATCH 2/5] Add CONFIG symbol to module as compilation parameter
Date
Add CONFIG symbol to kernel modules as a define via -D
compilation parameter. The CONFIG_FOO symbol for each
module is determined by the module name, using the
associations from Module.ksymb. This file is loaded
using the 'include' directive, thus run like a regular
makefile. The format of the content of the file is the
following:

foo_KCONF=CONFIG_FOO

creating a set of Makefile variables foo_KCONF with the
CONFIG_FOO as values.

The Makefile then adds this value in the compilation
command with -DKBUILD_KCONF='"CONFIG_FOO"'.

This patch is part of a research project within
Google Summer of Code of porting 'make localmodconfig'
for backported drivers. The goal is to enable each
module to expose in /sys its corresponding CONFIG_* option.
The value of this attribute will be dynamically pegged by
modpost without requiring extra work from the driver developers.
Further, this information will be used by a hardware interogation
tool to extract build information about the existing devices.
