    I was told you're the man to bug about this :-)

    Having a slow box, a vendor kernel (+ kernel-source package with config
    for it) and a need to modify one line of a module, recompile it,
    replace existing module with it and continue business as usual
    made me notice kbuild doesn't seem to have a facility for this.

    What would be nice is (say)

    cp configs/xxx-i686.config .config
    emacs drivers/media/dvb/frontends/ves1820.c
    make drivers/media/dvb/frontends/ves1820.ko
    cp ves1820.ko /lib/modules/...
    rmmod ves1820; modprobe ves1820

    Or am I missing something obvious that let me get just that one .ko
    without recompiling just about everything? (.o is easy, but that's
    not very useful :-) )
