This and the following lines seem to void the whole idea of the patchset
because it means that only one kernel can be built.  In our usecase we
build usually two kernels: a full featured one for the main system and a
minimal, initramfs based for a rescue system.

With this change and building both kernels, it is ambiguous which
System.map is used.
