Kernel build (kbuild) 2.5 is designed to make it easy to compile add on
code. The user still needs the kernel source and the .config used to
build their kernel, plus their existing kernel objects. The add on
source can be stored anywhere and will be compiled as if it were part
of the kernel source tree.
kbuild 2.5 gives full support for add on code, including make *config,
Makefile, kernel/module build, modules install, dependencies, the lot.
See http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbuild for the patch, read
Documentation/kbuild/kbuild-2.5.txt, in particular Shadow Trees.
