	In general, kbuild wants to find a source file with the same
name as the object file.  That you can't change.  It also expects to
build object files in the same directory as their source files.  This is
why I suggested a special directory where you symlink all the required
sources for a kernel build, then let kbuild do the rest.
	To sum up - pick the names you want for the files in a kernel
build.  Set them in mymodule-objs.  Then if those names are different
than your actual source file, come up with a rule to change the name.
