If a file named ``defconfig`` is listed in :term:`SRC_URI`, then by default
:ref:`ref-tasks-configure` copies it as ``.config`` in the build directory,
so it is automatically used as the kernel configuration for the build. This

recipes to produce a configuration by other means in
``do_configure:prepend``.
Each built kernel module is packaged separately and inter-module
dependencies are created by parsing the ``modinfo`` output. If all modules
are required, then installing the ``kernel-modules`` package installs all
