because it makes it easier to do off-kernel development, and then
move things to the proper location within the kernel without

As I understand, Kbuild is better choice because it is really not
standalone "Makefile", it is intended to be included by the real
Makefile. Thus, distinct name is better.
Are there any reasons why not using Kbuild? I did not found
guidelines when use Kbuild and when not.
