Ross Biro f2443ab6c4 [PATCH] allow /proc/config.gz to be built as a module
The driver for /proc/config.gz consumes rather a lot of memory and it is in
fact possible to build it as a module.

In some ways this is a bit risky, because the .config which is used for
compiling kernel/configs.c isn't necessarily the same as the .config which was
used to build vmlinux.

But OTOH the potential memory savings are decent, and it'd be fairly dumb to
build your configs.o with a different .config.

Sam Ravnborg 12715d20af kbuild: modpost on vmlinux regardless of CONFIG_MODULES
Based on patch from: Magnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp>
This has the advantage that all section mismatch checks are run regardless
of modules being enabled or not.

When running modpost on vmlinux output:
MODPOST vmlinux

When running modpost on modules output count of modules like this:
MODPOST 5 modules

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
