I object to this patch. It is needlessly complicated. It adds too
many icky knobs to the tree, created duplicate places where you'd need
lists, etc.

Should be all that's needed. You can list all the directories you
want in there, or trees of directories. No need to go and get extra
fancy with this. Peter is working on a better scheme for -current and
this is minimally invasive in -stable.
People would just add a
makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE="pcic sound/pcm sound/drivers/ex137x"
to their kernel config files and be done with it.
While this doesn't provide the NO_KMOD_xxx functionality, I don't
think that's needed. People are much much more likely to compile just
what they want and nothing else than they are to compile the defaults
with one or two things trimmed out.
