 Maybe specify which kernel options should be enabled, i.e. CONFIG_X86_CPUID and
CONFIG_X86_MSR.

 As I wrote, this shouldn't be there.

 cpuid.c specifies GPLv2-only, so we should stick to that.

 Add a comment saying that there is no license file in the tarball. Or cpuid.c
could be used.

 Is it possible to instead use

	$(MAKE) -C $(@D) $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS)

? At least, LDFLAGS should be passed as well.

 I think this should be after the make.
