Even the diffstat looks pretty good: only a modest line count
increase.
It would be useful to put this (and other build features - such
as features/parallelisation support) into tools/kbuild/ though,
so that other tooling can make easy use of it as well. For
example tools/kvm/ (an external project) started off with an
earlier version of the perf build system.
Sharing that would make quite a bit of sense, as tooling (and
most user-space project) build systems are usually have pretty
poor quality.
Thanks,
Ingo
