This will work, we also have the linux-yocto@yoctoproject.org kernel
mailing list.

Can you elaborate on this ? Are you actually seeing a problem, or
just wondering about the glue ? If it's the glue, kernel-yocto.bbclass
sets:

KBUILD_OUTPUT = "${B}"

For the desired source/binary split.

Same question as above. This is basic functionality and kernel_configme
is aware of the source/binary split, and has been doing this since
yocto 0.9.

Can you define "trashed" ?

Everything should be in the kernel-dev manual and the other yocto
project documentation. There's not that much to document, since the
functionality has been unchanged for quite some time and works behind
the scenes for a linux-yocto* based build.
