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.
Yeah, I like this and will pick it up. The only question is, has this idea already been rejected in the kernel?
I have not sent this patch to the kernel community yet. OK. I will.
