<p>As part of the hardening in GrapheneOS, it uses fully monolithic kernel builds with
dynamic kernel modules disabled. This improves the effectiveness of mitigations like
Control Flow Integrity benefiting from whole program analysis. It also reduces attack
surface and complexity somewhat including making the build system simpler. The kernel
trees marked as using a split build above need to have the device variant passed to
trees marked as using a separate build above need to have the device variant passed to
the GrapheneOS kernel build script to select the device.</p>
