Kbuild files and backwards compatibility.

[Ian Campbell]

Hi,

Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt suggests using "include Kbuild" in
external modules Makefile to retain backward compatibility with older
(pre separate Kbuild) kernels.

This doesn't appear to be quite correct:

Using $(src)/Kbuild seems to work, with 2.6.9 at least.
