It has caused problems in enough other drivers that we now
have a warning for it, it was added in commit 598afa050403
("kbuild: warn objects shared among multiple modules").

Most modules are modified already, and we are now down to
the last handful. Since the bugs are fairly hard to understand
when they happen, it would be nice to enable the warning
by default.
