Mark and I were talking about this, and since this is something that is required
in a multlib system, and an external module has gone to the trouble of
inheriting
module.bbclass, and we have the kernel-module-split.bbclass, that this
is something
we should be able to programatically do and generate the package names that
meet the expectations of the system.

I suggested a bugzilla and we can tackle this at the front end of the upcoming
dev cycle.

I think that's reasonable, if anyone knows of a reason why this absolutely can't
be done automatically .. or I'm out to lunch, I'm happy to have my
redirect, NAK'd :)

Cheers,

Bruce
