Subject: drivers/media build fix for modular builds
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
fix allmodconfig build bug introduced in latest -git by commit 7c91f0624a9
("V4L/DVB(7767): Move tuners to common/tuners"):
LD kernel/built-in.o
LD drivers/built-in.o
ld: drivers/media/built-in.o: No such file: No such file or directory
which happens if all media drivers are modular:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Wed_Apr_30_09_24_48_CEST_2008.bad
In that case there's no obj-y rule connecting all the built-in.o files and
the link tree breaks.
the fix is to add a guaranteed obj-y rule for the core vmlinux to build.
(which results in an empty object file if all media drivers are modular)
