OK, disregard my suggestion then.  Should we patch
Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt to correct the current
documentation, which says:

  The preferred name for the kbuild files is 'Kbuild' but 'Makefile'
  will continue to be supported. All new developmen is expected to use
  the Kbuild filename.
