Subject: [PATCH] Trivial: Changes all <module>.o to .ko in Kconfig files

This patch goes against 2.5.59 and changes every <modulename>.o to
<modulename>.ko in every Kconfig they occur, except the ones I overlooked ;)
It's a rather large patch so it's gzipped and attached.

I'd prefer just trimming the extension. "modprobe foo" is what they
want to know.

It also sets the prefix of the parameters, when/if they are updated.

Cheers!

I tend to agree with you, but the .o in existing help files is clearly
wrong. Perhaps the patch could be edited to just replace the .ko with
nothing. Yep, it can.

OK, here is a new patch, I edited the old patch and took out the .ko's
so now the extension is trimmed instead.
