Most, if not all, Linux distributions provides a Linux development

What ends up in this development directory is a mixture of source
files (mainly headers) and generated ones (headers, and tools produced
by `make modules_prepare`).
This patch is an attempt to generate a tarball archive containing all
required files to build external modules. It could be than reused by
packagers.

Is there a patch 2/2? I don't see it anywhere.
My mistake.
Yes there is a second one but I did not want to send it becuase it is about
generalizing buildtar to build 3 type of tarballs: the linux binaries to be
placed in /boot, the header files for user-space, and the development headers
and tools for out-of-tree modules (this patch).
The second one makes sense, only if this one makes sense. That's why I wrote few
lines in the RFC cover letter. I should have used the format-patch option to not
enumerate patches :)
thanks.
