It seems you are confused by the fact that this recompilation results in

Or something else changed that he didn't realize. Just the other day, I
applied a one-line patch that hit one .c file, and *the entire kernel*
started rebuilding.

Took me a while to figure out that I'd been looking for something else, and
done a 'vi Makefile' in the top level, and exited with 'ZZ' rather than ':q' ;)

Changing the top makefile (where your version info is) should only
result in rebuilding the .mod.c, .mod.o and .ko files.
