Why isn't kbuild fixed instead? These files can have MODULE_AUTHOR()
and other macros when built into the kernel, what is so special about
MODULE_LICENSE() that prevents this from working properly?
There should not be a need to remove these markings in my opinion, why
treat one MODULE_* macro more special than others?
