I posted it elsewhere, but I think it got lost. Before we move in this
direction can we please discuss if we use the method mentioned in

http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0406.2/1280.html

(patch 2/2) or something similar to what we are doing now, but split and
installable in parallel for all kernels? 

Or telling me why the kbuild method is bogus could satisfy me also ;-)
