Sounds to me like you've got it the wrong way round. Lots of people want to build
kernels, very few as far as I can see want to build just a module.
And the odds are you have built with the wrong configuration for an awful lot of
folk. I'd guess that most don't want SMP or the "enterprise" kernel, but a few want
one of those, and that the source tree is wrong for at least one of those groups.
If I'm wrong, please describe how.
