Hi Masahiro,

After testing your suggestions for module_srcpath, I remembered why I
needed this:

+ifneq ($(realpath $(srctree)/$(KBUILD_EXTMOD) 2>/dev/null),)
+ module_srcpath := $(srctree)/$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)
+else
+ module_srcpath := $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)
+endif

Basically KBUILD_EXTMOD actually has two uses when defined as a relative path:

(1) defines the path to the external module's source relative to $(srctree)
(2) defines the path to the external module's build artifacts relative
to $(objtree)

Since setlocalversion is run from $(objtree), we need to use
$(srctree)/$(KBUILD_EXTMOD) when it's a relative path. Just to note,
if I do just use KBUILD_EXTMOD, then the script setlocalversion fails
to find the srctree and returns an empty string.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I messed around with this by adding
many prints to Makefile.modpost and setlocalversion to make sure
everything was defined as expected.

Thanks,
Will
