It is a lot easier in kbuild 2.5, I added clean support for install
scripts. kbuild 2.5 does most of the work, the install script can
concentrate on its own work instead of deducing the install information
itself.

Post-install script or command name
CONFIG_INSTALL_SCRIPT_NAME
If you perform some extra work after installing the kernel and
modules, specify the name of your script or command here. It will be
invoked after copying the kernel and modules to the target locations.
The CONFIG_INSTALL_* variables will be in the environment of your
script, as well as all variables exported by the top level Makefile,
including KERNELRELEASE, VERSION, PATCHLEVEL, SUBLEVEL, EXTRAVERSION,
USERVERSION, KBUILD_OBJTREE, KBUILD_SRCTREE_nnn.

If your boot loader needs to be run to pick up the new kernel
location, you can insert the loader command in this field. The
command or script must be executable. LILO users might find this to
be useful,
KBUILD_SRCTREE_000/scripts/lilo_new_kernel
It adds CONFIG_INSTALL_PREFIX_NAME/CONFIG_INSTALL_KERNEL_NAME to
/etc/lilo.conf with a label of KERNELRELEASE (truncated to 15
characters) then runs lilo.

Any words in the path that start with an upper case letter and
consist only of upper case letters, '_' and digits are replaced by
the value of the corresponding variable. This includes
KERNELRELEASE, VERSION, PATCHLEVEL, SUBLEVEL, EXTRAVERSION,
USERVERSION, KBUILD_SRCTREE_nnn.
