[poky] [PATCH 0/2] RFC: enable building of out-of-tree modules

[Darren Hart]

From: Darren Hart <dvhart at linux.intel.com>

The following patches provide a mechanism to address [BUGID #241] through
two additions to module.bbclass which build and clean the hostprogs. The
second patch adds an example kernel module.

When building with the hello-world-mod, the resulting rootfs is missing
all the other kernel modules (/lib/modules/KERNEL_VER/extras contains
hello-world.ko, but /lib/modules/KERNEL_VER/kernel is missing). The
sysroots has all the modules, but the rootfs generated by the image
recipe only has the hello-world module. This is the last wrinkle to
iron out, any ideas on how to address this would be appreciated.

Gary, can you try the module.bbclass with your module to see if it
builds successfully?

Thanks,
