Ugh, yeah you cannot really do that.  The V4L core modules get out of
sync because you end up with a combination of core modules from the
existing kernel but individual device drivers from the new kernel.  It
works in rare cases where there are no changes to the core between
what you currently have and what's in the media_build tree, but that
is by far the exception rather than the rule.

Your bet is to just use the defaults, and don't try to over-optimize.
