db8c1a7b2c kbuild: fix building external modules
kbuild failed to locate Makefile for external modules.
This brought to my attention how the variables for directories
have different values in different usage scenarios.

Different kbuild usage scenarios:
make       - plain make in same directory where kernel source lives
make O=    - kbuild is told to store output files in another directory
make M=    - building an external module
make O= M= - building an external module with kernel output seperate from src

Value assigned to the different variables:

           |$(src)          |$(obj) |$(srctree)        |$(objtree)
make       |reldir to k src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k src
make O=    |reldir to k src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to output dir
make M=    |abs path to src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k src
make O= M= |abs path to src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k output

path to kbuild file:

make       | $(srctree)/$(src), $(src)
make O=    | $(srctree)/$(src)
make M=    | $(src)
make O= M= | $(src)

From the table above it can be seen that the only good way to find the
home directory of the kbuild file is to locate the one of the two variants
that is an absolute path. If $(src) is an absolute path (starts with /)
then use it, otherwise prefix $(src) with $(srctree).

8ec4b4ff1c kbuild: introduce Kbuild.include
Kbuild.include is a placeholder for definitions originally present in
both the top-level Makefile and scripts/Makefile.build.
There were a slight difference in the filechk definition, so the most videly
used version was kept and usr/Makefile was adopted for this syntax.

cfca82f217 kbuild: Fix build as root then user
From: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>
I inadvertently built a tree as root and then rebuilt it as a user.  I
got a lot of prompts ...

mv: overwrite `drivers/char/drm/drm_auth.o', overriding mode 0644?

Using mv -f fixes that.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
