Yeah, what Randy said .. As far as I know it should be just a build
order issue .. In the make file when you specify your new module along
with all the others where you put it is actually important .. In
fs/Makefile you have this line,

obj-$(CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS)       += configfs/

and I would guess you want yours after that line if your adding to that
makefile.
