Yeah I expected that that is the case right now. Could be
fixed later though.

That's orthogonal to expressing it as one "module" in Kbuild,
which is really just about grouping highly interdependent
stuff together.
But anyway, your patch looks good, I was just suggesting to
clean it up some more. You don't have to do it now if you
don't want to, I'm sure it will happen later :-)
