Actually, rsync --delete is not a viable option either. If you first
build a kernel with a particular item built as a module, and then
afterward rebuild with the same item as built-in (or not at all),
the .ko file remains in your kernel build tree (ie, it won't be deleted
on the source such that the --delete would have your desired effect).
Furthermore, rsync's performance is considerably worse in my testing
than "cp -u", almost back to the original performance of the "rm -rf, cp
all" of the original modules_install. (Note that I tested, rsync's
default, checksum, mod-times, and size-only.)
