[Fedora-packaging] kernel-module package naming

I don't think there is any dispute that magic will be needed to solve
this problem.

The more I think about it, the more I am opposed to abusing the package
%{NAME} to solve it.

Let's make the ground level assumption that packages containing kernel
modules will be named %{NAME}-module, based on precedence in Fedora
Core.

So we'll have this:

Fedora Core:
GFS-module

Fedora Extras:
openafs-module
unionfs-module

Livna:

ati-module
nvidia-module

>From there, we work uphill.
