Sometimes, it's always good to check. I don't use a customized kernel so 
I can't speak from experience, but this might be a solution for you. 
Keep a copy of GENERIC somewhere safe where it won't get overwritten 
when you update and diff it with the new kernel whenever you update your 
source tree. From here you should be able to use your judgement to 
determine how to continue.
