Can we use M=2 instead of K=?
I have sort of reserved 'K' for Kconfig usage.

We are executing with $(objtree) as current directory so no need

You can used non-recursive assignments for kmsg_cmd (use ':=').

Do you really need the uppercase SRCTREE, OBJTREE?
Other scripts uses the lower cases variants direct.
