Please don't use shouting names..

This doesn't sound like a good heuristic, imagine a driver using e.g.
foo_user.c for the chardev user interface.  In general I'd suggest adding
parallel infrastructure for user-$(CONFIG_FOO) variables in addition to
the current obj-* and host-*.  The only problem you could get with that
is that you need to take special care of the link order.
