Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: ensure Make >= 3.82 is used
Date:   Sun, 11 Dec 2022 12:03:52 +0900

Documentation/process/changes.rst notes the minimal GNU Make version,
but it is not checked anywhere.

We could check $(MAKE_VERSION), but another simple way is to check
$(.FEATURES) since the feature list always grows although this way
is not always possible. For example Make 4.0 through 4.2 have the
same set of $(.FEATURES).
