I really like this approach as you make the resolver configurable, this lets others experiment and consider alternatives. make KSYMB_GENERATOR=/path/research/my-config-generator-is-better The fact that you can do this should be documented as part of the patch commit log. You'll want to wrap this generation under a CONFIG option so only kernels that want generate this file. > This patch is part of a research project within > Google Summer of Code of porting 'make localmodconfig' > for backported drivers.
