Thank you for your observations! It was not easy for me to guess to do
it this way because of my limited knowledge about kbuild && modpost
work. In v5 I've only updated commit log: measurements removed, "The
build time impact is very limited and is almost at the unnoticeable
level (< 1 sec)" added instead. Fell free to edit it if you want.
