Got it, thanks.  I just pulled a bit soon.

It seems a bit brute force, probably not something I can make part of
our regular build process, but I can definitely run it before sending
patches out.

I wonder if there's a more efficient way of doing it that doesn't
involve invoking make for each line of the file.  It at least
shouldn't be necessary to actually build the kernel each time.
