Series Kernel build fixups, split object directory off (partial WIP) | expand

Commit Message

Elliott Mitchell Nov. 12, 2023, 6:51 a.m. UTC 
This points uses of .config, .modules, and vmlinux at the correct
place.  This is one portion of the source/build split.

Signed-off-by: Elliott Mitchell <ehem+openwrt@m5p.com>

Note for reviewers.  It is easy to miss the `mkdir` added to
Kernel/Configure/Default.  That was needed since the directory might
not have been created (bugfix while testing).
