I would have expected the message support to be implmented as a separate
module with a nice interface used by benet.
This would also kill the above misuse of kbuild.

No matter what you do then please use:
benet-y := be_init.o be_int.o be_netif.o be_ethtool.o ...
as replacement for benet-objs := ....
