Not entirely i.e. not the whole of kernel/module/Makefile, unfortunately.
Furthermore, only x86-64 was compiled tested. At the moment, I felt the

Sorry about that: this work was based on Linus' commit 81361b837a34 ("Merge
tag 'kbuild-v5.14' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild.").

Thanks for that. I'll have a look shortly to incorporate into RFC PATCH v3.

Much appreciated.
