[yocto] more efficient debug kernel

Hi,

I usually build a debug kernel with debug info included, which makes it 
run "suboptimal". Distros build the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO 
enables, but strip symbols out of the resulting kernel and kernel 
modules, and place them in the separate debuginfo packages. This makes 
the kernel much smaller and also makes it run more efficiently because 
of caching.

Is this possible with the Yocto kernel tooling as well?

Regards,

Robert
