It only contains the full history for the files which it contains, not a
complete kernel history. This is deliberate so that "git annotate" etc
still works to tell you where a particular line came from.

The are a lot of merge NULL-commits which aren't strictly needed (they
have no content and only a single parent) but I didn't manage to get git
rewrite-branch to omit them. They are mostly harmless I think.

I'm not sure how any of that makes it unsuitable for use as a submodule
though, the history contained in a git tree seems pretty orthogonal to
that to me.

TBH, I'm not sure what the requirements for a submodule are -- IME when
something is used as a submodule it is up to the outer git tree to call
into the inner build system in the correct way, whatever that may be.
