This breaks existing recommended syntax for external modules, because the
mini Makefile in object directory always provides O= even in cases where
calling code specified its own object directory:

make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build modules M=`pwd` O=/foo

or

export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/foo
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build modules M=`pwd`

Andrew,
please drop this patch. Dropping this causes less breakage than applying it.
