There is (supposed to be) a faster alternative that is
probably of interest primarily to folks working in/on
the kernel or that have reasons to only build the
kernel (or multiple variations of the kernel):

make . . . kernel-toolchain
make . . . buildkernel

/usr/src/Makefile has the comment lines that
I quote below, look at the last that I quote:

# buildworld          - Rebuild *everything*, including glue to help do
#                       upgrades.
# installworld        - Install everything built by "buildworld".
# world               - buildworld + installworld, no kernel.
# buildkernel         - Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules.
# installkernel       - Install the kernel and the kernel-modules.
# installkernel.debug
# reinstallkernel     - Reinstall the kernel and the kernel-modules.
# reinstallkernel.debug
# kernel              - buildkernel + installkernel.
# kernel-toolchain    - Builds the subset of world necessary to build a kernel

Right now kernel-toolchain and the aarch64 kernel
source are not matched sufficiently for the sequence
to work.
