v2 reduces the size of linux-module-builder to 176 MiB (from 255 MiB in v1).
However, it needs to do some invasive stuff that is a little more difficult to
maintain than v1.

With v2, the biggest remaining toplevel directories in linux-module-builder are
the following (including sizes in MB as first column):

6       ./lib/modules/build/arch/powerpc
6       ./lib/modules/build/include/uapi/linux
6       ./lib/modules/build/lib
6       ./lib/modules/build/scripts
7       ./lib/modules/build/arch/mips
8       ./lib/modules/build/arch/arm64/boot
8       ./lib/modules/build/arch/arm64/boot/dts
8       ./lib/modules/build/include/uapi
9       ./lib/modules/build/arch/arm64
11      ./lib/modules/build/kernel
13      ./lib/modules/build/tools
14      ./lib/modules/build/include/config
19      ./lib/modules/build/arch/arm/boot
19      ./lib/modules/build/arch/arm/boot/dts
22      ./lib/modules/build/include/linux
23      ./lib/modules/build/arch/arm
59      ./lib/modules/build/include
62      ./lib/modules/build/arch

The total is 176 MiB.
