Yeah, Masahiro this is great, thanks for reworking this!

I did tweak one module like Miroslav mentioned and I think a few of the 
newly generated files need to be cleaned up as part of "make clean", but 
all said, this is a nice improvement.

Are you targeting the next merge window for your kbuild branch?  (This 
appears to be what the klp-cleanup branch was based on.)

Thanks,
