Build and Source Tree Requirements for Out-of-tree Modules
From: Shea Levy

Hi all,
I am a package maintainer for the kernel for the NixOS distribution. We
support users building out-of-tree modules and other packages that might
depend on the kernel source or build trees, but make modules_install
copies the entire source and build trees (we build with $(O) set) to
$(INSTALL_PATH), and those are some big paths to keep around. Is there
any documentation on which of those files should actually be needed by
any out-of-tree tools? For example I'm guessing the intermediate object
files in the build tree or the .c files in the source tree are not
necessary, but it would be nice if there were a definitive list of what
could be removed to save space.
Regards,
Shea Levy
