Subject: [PATCH v2] tools/virtio: option to build an out of tree module
Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2020 02:35:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200207073327.1205669-1-mst@redhat.com> (raw)

Handy for testing with distro kernels.
Warn that the resulting module is completely unsupported,
and isn't intended for production use.

Usage:
        make oot # builds vhost_test.ko, vhost.ko
        make oot-clean # cleans out files created

Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
---

changes from v1:
	lots of refactoring
	disable all modules except vhost by default (more of a chance
						     it'll build)
	oot-clean target
