-# Build the kernel release string

-# The KERNELRELEASE value built here is stored in the file
-# include/config/kernel.release, and is used when executing several
-# make targets, such as "make install" or "make modules_install."
-#
-# The eventual kernel release string consists of the following fields,
-# shown in a hierarchical format to show how smaller parts are concatenated
-# to form the larger and final value, with values coming from places like
-# the Makefile, kernel config options, make command line options and/or
-# SCM tag information.

-#         $(SUBLEVEL)                   eg, 18
