    kbuild: Do module post processing in C · 8ed38d8d
    Kai Germaschewski authored
    Doing the module post processing using some scripting with sed/grep etc
    was doable, but performance is of course much better when we do it in C
    instead, and it also allows for easier extensibility for additional
    postprocessing for e.g. the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE's.
      
    Executing the new helper "modpost" will build the additional C code for all
    modules at once, so we can just keep the hash table of exported symbols
    in memory instead of rebuilding it for every module.
