Nice. So I'm not going to implement it (asked by Arnout).
If you CC me, I'll review your patch.

I was planning to send a patch to linux-kbuild as well (after we complete this
patch) as I also think it's something which upstream could take, so projects
didn't have to carry patch for it. But feel free to implement send it there.
