It's probably easier to do it the other way round: Make a user_command target (or similar) for each of the link_subdirs statements in the top-level Makefile.in in order to call the old kbuild Makefile in that directory. Then we can have seperate patches that convert parts of the tree from Makefile to Makefile.in and put the link_subdirs back. Of course, most of the new kbuild features will work only when everything is converted, but up to then you'll be able to compile with the new Makefile without losing any features in the intermediate steps.
