Okay... for users of emacs, here's an elisp function that looks to see if it's
in a subdirectory of a kernel tree (and if so whether it's kbuild or
traditional), and if so invents an appropriate command line for compiling just
in that subdir:-) Otherwise it just falls back to the usual compile function.

This can be put in a .emacs file, and can bound to a key:

        (global-set-key [f5] 'kernel-compile)
