[PATCH] kbuild: make Makefile|Kbuild in each directory optional

[Jakub Kicinski]

It is useful to be able to build single object files, e.g.:
$ make net/sched/cls_flower.o W=1 C=2

Currently kbuild does a hard include of a Kbuild or Makefile
for directory where that object would reside.  Kbuild doesn't
cater too well to multi-directory drivers, meaning such drivers
will usually only use a single central Makefile.  This in turn
means it will be impossible to build most of object files
individually for such drivers.

Make the include of $dir/{Makefile,Kbuild} optional.

I must admit I have no idea whose tree I should send this to :(
Could it go via net-next if no one on linux-kbuild objects?
