O= is not only the way to specify the output directory.

KBUILD_OUTPUT is used not only for an internal variable
but also for user interface to specify the output directory
(via environments).


How about something like this?

# KBUILD_SRC is not intended to be used by the regular user (for now),
# it is set on invocation of make with KBUILD_OUTPUT or O= specified.
