Add a must do task for 5.2-RELEASE to redo the kernel module build

Browse source 
infrastructure, which should improve module build performance, as
well as permit modules to be built in the context of a kernel
configuration, better supporting things like MAC and PAE in kernel
modules.

<td>Kernel modules are currently built independently from a kernel
configuration, and independently from one another, resulting in
substantially redundant compilation of objects, as well as the
inability to easily manage compile-time options for kernel
objects (such as MAC, PAE, etc) that may require conditional
compilation in the kernel modules. In order to improve build
performance and better support options of this sort, the
KLD build infrastructure needs to be revamped. &a.peter; has
done some initial prototyping, and should be contacted before
starting on this work.</td>
