This is a somewhat rough first-pass at making a 'minimal tree'
installation target. This installs a partial source-tree which you
can use to build external modules against. It feels pretty unclean
but I'm not aware of a much better way to do some of this.
This patch works for me, even when using O=<buildtree>. It probably
needs further cleanups.
Comments?
-----
Add a 'mintree-install' makefile target.
Red Hat and other distributions typically have some logic in their
kernel package build system to create/install 'minimalist source tree'
which contains enough state to build external modules against but is
much smaller than the entire build-tree.
This introduces similar logic, the guts of this was taken from a
Fedora Core spec file and mutilated to make it work for O=<...>
builds.
