+# 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 in $(MODVERDIR)/, listing the name of the
+# the preliminary <module>.o file, plus all .o files
+
+# Stage 2 is handled by this file and does the following
+# 1) Find all modules from the files listed in $(MODVERDIR)/
+# 2) modpost is then used to
+# 3) create one <module>.mod.c file pr. module
+# 4) create one Module.symvers file with CRC for all exported symbols
+# 5) compile all <module>.mod.c files
+# 6) final link of the module to a <module.ko> file
+
+# Step 3 is used to place certain information in the module's ELF
+# section, including information such as:
+# Version magic (see include/vermagic.h for full details)
+# - Kernel release
+# - SMP is CONFIG_SMP
+# - PREEMPT is CONFIG_PREEMPT
+# - 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.symers file.
