# Stage one of module building created the following:
# a) The individual .o files used for the module
# b) A <module>.o file which is the .o files above linked together
# c) A <module>.mod file, listing the name of the preliminary <module>.o file,
# plus all .o files
# d) modules.order, which lists all the modules
# Stage 2 is handled by this file and does the following
# 1) Find all modules listed in modules.order
# 2) modpost is then used to
# 3) create one <module>.mod.c file per module
# 4) create one Module.symvers file with CRC for all exported symbols
# Step 3 is used to place certain information in the module's ELF
# section, including information such as:
# Version magic (see include/linux/vermagic.h for full details)
# - Kernel release
# - SMP is CONFIG_SMP
# - PREEMPT is CONFIG_PREEMPT[_RT]
# - GCC Version
# Module info
# - Module version (MODULE_VERSION)
# - Module alias'es (MODULE_ALIAS)
# - Module license (MODULE_LICENSE)
# - See include/linux/module.h for more details
# Step 4 is solely used to allow module versioning in external modules,
# where the CRC of each module is retrieved from the Module.symvers file.
