Nice idea.

However, I gave it a try and got:
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.34-rc0 [Not git tree]

Even though I *am* building from a git tree. It does not seem to work when 
building with KBUILD_OUTPUT set or when using 'O='.

IMO that makes the practical value of the patch very limited. I'm afraid 
because of this it will increase confusion rather than add information.

Cheers,
