We were simply reinventing the wheel until now. Here's the final version of the patch which is also the simplest solution (if you hold your eyes open at all time, you'll see that KERNELVERSION is already exported by the main Makefile and there's no need for changing the build string in Documentation/DocBook/Makefile):

However, the version string appears truncated on the manpage due to some constraints in the xml DTD for the man header, I believe, for the troff output is truncated too. The current patch improves upon previous versions by reading the kernel version directly from the enclosing build environment exported by the main Makefile.
