Some out-of-tree modules require other out-of-tree modules to load and
function. This patch allows one module to supply the path(s) of the
modules it depends on by setting the KBUILD_EXTSYMVERS make variable.
The Module.symvers files from these path(s) will be included when
searching for symbol versions, and the resulting modules will have
proper symbol version information.
