С некоторого момента он перестал быть модулем:

obj-$(CONFIG_QUOTA)		+= dquot.o quota_v1.o
obj-$(CONFIG_QFMT_V2)		+= quota_v2.o

[PATCH] new quota code

Okay, here's the quota patch.  Basically all changes are from Jan Kara
and I backport them from 2.5.  The 32bit quota code has been shipped
by the commercial vendors ever since they used Linux 2.4 and this
particular codebase with backwards compatiblity support is around
in the 2.5, the XFS tree, -ac and -aa for a long time.  The only
change over that version is that support for the old 16bit quota
format and the old quotactl ABI is enabled unconditionally, i.e.
there's no way to render your system unusable by wrong make config
choices [1].

[1] This also mean completely dropping support for the interim ABI
used in the early 32bit quota patches as it's mutally incompatible
to the old ABI.  But we never ever shipped that in any mainline kernels
so there's no problem.
