Better testing when patching divers/staging/ - howto?

Don't also forget a general 'make' for the whole tree, otherwise
undefined symbols that you might have deleted from the module will not
show up if you just build one subdirectory.

If resources permit, do a 'make allnoconfig; make', a 'make allmodconfig; make',
and a 'make allyesconfig; make' as well.  A few randconfig's might not
hurt too.  This will often shake loose corner configuration cases where either
a definition or a use is hiding inside a CONFIG_FOO in the source.
