[PATCH] kbuild: Add vmlinux_install to facilitate debugging

[Zach Wade]

When testing multiple versions of the kernel with the same source code,it 
is often necessary to recompile the kernel, which is time-consuming for 
small hosts. I need to cp vmlinux to the corresponding module directory.
I think adding this will make debugging the kernel a little more 
convenient.
