Allow the Dynamic Interrupt Moderation (DIM) library to be built as a
module. This is particularly useful in an Android GKI (Google Kernel
Image) configuration where everything is built as a module, including
Ethernet controller drivers. Having to build DIMLIB into the kernel
image with potentially no user is wasteful.

Some bloat-o-meter -c vmlinux.{before,after} would be good to have here.
The library is small, but I personally would like to see it modular.

I guess you renamed it due to that there's already a module named 'dim'?

This is required to avoid the follow recursive dependency:

make[4]: Circular lib/dim/dim.o <- lib/dim/dim.o dependency dropped.

-2 Kb sounds reasonable I'd say. This doesn't even require adding new
exports, nice.
