Introduced in commit ac031f26e89cc04fc7504f31ae137857eb83a051, appeared
first in 2.6.18.

External kernel modules: the one using kbuild will do fine, as long as
we use the modules_install target of the kbuild build system and not
manually install/copy the .ko files.

External kernel modules not using kbuild would obviously no longer be
stripped. Not sure how many of these we have today, and how to handle
them. They could be problematic :-/
