      kbuild: do not try to build content of initramfs
      kbuild: external modules shall not check config consistency

commit 9ee4e3365dd0dab4c1e02fe44dc08a223b826c72

    kbuild: external modules shall not check config consistency
    
    external modules needs include/linux/autoconf.h and include/config/auto.conf
    but skip the integrity test of these. Even with a newer Kconfig file we
    shall just proceed since external modules simply uses the kernel source and
    shall not attempt to modify it.
    Error out if a config fiel is missing since they are mandatory.

commit 58a2f7d85aaf4c41157f15c43a913b5c3c6b3adb
Author: Sam Ravnborg <[email protected]>

    kbuild: do not try to build content of initramfs
    
    When a file supplied via CONFIG_INITRAMFS pointed to a file
    for which kbuild had a rule to compile it (foo.c => foo.o)
    then kbuild would compile the file before adding the
    file to the initramfs.
    
    Teach make that files included in initramfs shall not be updated by adding
    an 'empty command'. (See "Using Empty Commands" in info make).
