torben> core-hosts/i2o-upper.
Ok, I understand the problem.
Can you elaborate some more on exactly which files go in "core",
"hosts", and "upper"? My understanding is:
# drivers/scsi
scsi-core-files := scsi_mod.o scsi_syms.o
scsi-hosts-files := ... everything not in core and upper ...
scsi-upper-files := st.o sd_mod.o sr_mod.o sg.o
# i2o
i2o-files := %.o
I can do this in the top Makefile by declaring lists like the above
using $(filter) and $(filter-out). The hard part is going to be defining
"scsi-hosts-files" to work properly. I think I will need to add a few
more lines to drivers/scsi/Makefile and make one more multi. Or maybe
three more multis.
But I'm sure I can do it without moving any source files around.

Yeah, I agree with Linus: minimizing link order dependencies is the
right thing.
For the link order dependencies which *do* exist at any point in time,
I'd like the Makefiles to have explicit link-ordering declarations with
comments on them about why they are needed.
