Hi, Masahiro
Thanks for your comment.
Got your point, you are right.

Yep, it looks good.
BTW, I found another interesting thing.
make M=dir////
is also a valid target in kbuild.
Even this is a very rare case, I plan to use this to handle it.
KBUILD_EXTMOD := $(subst $(CURDIR)/,,$(KBUILD_EXTMOD))
This also works for an out tree build.
I would send out v2 soon, hope you like this.
