  - support 'make nsdeps' for external modules
 
  - make rebuilds faster by deleting $(wildcard $^) checks
 
  - remove compile tests for kernel-space headers
 
  - refactor modpost to simplify modversion handling
 
  - make single target builds faster
 
  - optimize and clean up scripts/kallsyms.c
 
  - refactor various Makefiles and scripts
