Those kind of things could be interesting, but they may create even more mess over what we currently have on our complex Kbuilding system. For the out-of-system building, one alternative would be to create some make syntax for building just some drivers, like: make driver=cx88,ivtv or, even better: make cx88 ivtv Such command could generate a .config file that has just the driver plus their dependencies and selects.
