Hi Sam,
after your latest Makefile changes 'make kernelrelease' displays an
empty line when it is run before building. I think it's more useful
to let it build the kernel version and display it.
The patch makes kernelrelease dependant on .kernelrelease. It also
moves one echo call to the single other place that depends on
.kernelrelease. Otherwise it would display its message there _and_
when called through 'make kernelrelease'.
