Prior to Kbuild, the build system created a build directory, when it did not exist, for out-of-tree build.

This feature was dropped when we switched to Kbuild because many of lines in makefiles were copied from Linux Kernel. (In Linux Kernel, we have to create a build directory by ourselves before starting build.)

That feature seems worth reviving for less typing even if our code and Linux Kernel diverge.

Arguably could be a bug-fix for this release.
