Would it be too bad (in anyone's opinion) if we optimize this
a bit to build modules only once for each architecture, with
buildworld (-DMODULES_WITH_WORLD)?  That would speed-up the
creation of universe somewhat, but has one bad side effect of
polluting userland build with kernel stuff, but is easiest
to implement.

Another option would be to build modules only for the first
kernel for a given arch, whatever it happens to be.  This is
still not quite good as kernel/modules may or may not be
independently broken.

Yet another option would be to still build modules once for
a given architecture, but independently of kernels and world.

Before I go for implementing this or that, I'd like people's
opinion on that.
