The kernel build systems doesn't support building a single module from
multiple makefiles. Take a look how to handle a subdirectory in the
older XFS versions that still had that linux-2.6 subdirectory, it just
pulls the files in the subdirectory in from the main makefile, which
requires some tiny hacks for the include path.
