Subject: [PATCH mainline] lib: make iovec obj instead of lib


when CONFIG_VMWARE_VMCI=m:

ERROR: "memcpy_toiovec" [drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmw_vmci.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "memcpy_fromiovec" [drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmw_vmci.ko] undefined!

Changing iovec.o from lib-y to obj-y fixes the build errors.

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org>

Fix build error io vmw_vmci.ko by chaning iovec.o from lib-y to
obj-y.

ERROR: "memcpy_toiovec" [drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmw_vmci.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "memcpy_fromiovec" [drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmw_vmci.ko] undefined!
