I have thought about this - and had an idea to eliminate one extra library:

 * use a .ko file for the functions called by both CCID3 and CCID4 as suggested by Arnaldo
 * but there is already dccp_tfrc_lib which hosts a major number of functions used by CCID3/4
 * hence I think that you could proceed by
	- add a CCID-3 specific object file to dccp_tfrc_lib-y in net/dccp/ccids/lib/Makefile
          (eg. ccid3_funcs.o or whatever)
	- the file could take the shared functions, ccid3.c could then be stripped to smaller functions
	  which wrap around the library functions
	- tfrc.h could take the declarations
 * this way one library less to look after.

Ian/Arnaldo may also have ideas or opinions on this.
