Best way to printk debug linux-git?

I'm hesitant to add unmanaged files and clutter up my system with make install, but I don't want to have to rebuild the whole kernel every time I add a printk to a module, as abs does. What's the best way to do this?

make install and make modules_install will only add /boot/vmlinuz, /boot/System.map and folder /lib/modules/(branch/version)-ARCH-dirty/
that's very easy to delete/clean up. So basically just rename your /boot/vmlinuz to something like /boot/vmlinuz-arch and add that to bootloader as another option then you can boot into whichever you want.
