Hi Keith,
First, I want to thank you for having added my patch to handle gzipped objects.
I've noticed that you also added preliminary support for files with ".o.gz"
extension which is good I think because easier to maintain. The following
patch completes this support. It becomes transparent to insmod and modprobe
(ie: no need to provide ".o.gz" extension), and also cleans up the extension
when generating the module name.
Now, if you have a module named somemod.o.gz, simply modprobe somemod, and
lsmod will tell you "somemod" is loaded (an not somemod.o.gz).
BTW, I noticed that "Makefile.common" wasn't removed by "make distclean", so
we had to remove it by hand. This patch adds this name to the distclean section.
Regards,
Willy
