The above mentioned possibility to list 'members' of a composite object
by means of either:
oprofile-y
or
oprofile-objs
has nothing to do with the .ko extension.
But that feature may have been added in the same time-frame though.
I do not recall exactly whay Kai introduced the .ko extension, but
without checking I assume that makes it easier / possible to do some
added tricks in the makefiles.
