Again. So why not just add the ordering in the task dependencies ?

I'm probably missing something, which just means we need to tweak
the commit log a bit more.

The code you are removing is conditional, and is run after an
explicit kernel_do_compile is called, to rebuild the existing
kernel configuration with an embedded initramfs (via alternate initrd).
So outside of some ordering/parallel execution issues, I'm not seeing
it as broken.
