what I've been doing is this, and quite possibly it's not the right
thing to do, so please tell me if I am being an idiot

* using a virtual machine for development, currently Debian Jessie
with backports apt source enabled
* downloading the kernel source from kernel.org
* unpacking the source in /usr/src
* installing a similar kernel from the debian repository
* using the Debian kernel packager's config - copy
/boot/config-nn.nn.nn into /usr/src/linux-nn.nn.nn/.config
* using make menuconfig to tweak the kernel:
    set processor type to "Core 2/newer Xeon"
    disabling anything AMD specific
    disabling drivers that I am very sure are irrelevant
* using "make -j 3 deb-pkg" to build the kernel package
* renaming the .deb files to shorter names for convenience
* install that kernel on my VM to verify it will boot
* build the wifi drivers "make ; make strip"
* copy kernel and wifi drivers across to the Tosh C.M., where I
install it, boot it
* if it boots, copy drivers up to my web site
