kbuild: support building individual files for external modules

Browse Source 
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.

Therefore a full kernel build needs to be executed to make
module versioning work.
--- 2.5 Building separate files for a module
It is possible to build single files which is part of a module.
This works equal for the kernel, a module and even for external
modules.
Examples (module foo.ko, consist of bar.o, baz.o):
make -C $KDIR M=`pwd` bar.lst
make -C $KDIR M=`pwd` bar.o
make -C $KDIR M=`pwd` foo.ko
make -C $KDIR M=`pwd` /
