The external build itself is relatively easy. We have already such stuff in alsa-driver tree. Just needs a slight change to remap the directories properly in linux kernel tree instead of alsa-kernel tree.
What I mentioned is to merge changesets properly from one tree to another old tree. Maybe a kind of cherry picking would do that.
The thing I was thinking of above was taking a vanilla kernel tree and building a subdirectory of that as though it were out of tree. This lets you use a vanilla git tree with the headers and config of a second kernel tree (eg, a distro supplied one), meaning that from a revision control point of view there's nothing fancy going on.
