This branch makes the manual config kernel a lot more space efficient by separating out the build and source trees (needed for out-of-tree modules) from the actual bzImage and in-tree modules.
Also some other small improvements along the way.
This makes it possible to still build out-of-tree modules without making a system using this kernel depend on the full source and build tree at runtime.
Note that references to the source tree are removed from kernel modules after build.
Ideally, this would be accomplished by modifying the Makefile that puts the reference there in the first place, but I haven't tracked that down yet.
Before, only the first output (and not even that when accessed through 'all' or its corresponding attribtue) had meta information and the relevant passthru attributes.
This doesn't change stdenv's hash and the tarball still builds, I'm pretty sure this is safe for master.
Outrageous! They fixed the tarball by including the missing file.
Well, at least we now don't have that much cruft laying around and can remove
that rather long patch.

This update involves a bunch of fixes on our side:
Update the Gentoo patch to 3.14.1 from http://bit.ly/ZG8OK5 and drop the older
one from http://bit.ly/15mN0X1 (for 3.12.5).
While checking the old patch from Gentoo, I discovered, that the patch added in
revision 06c543b11d wasn't the original one in the
Gentoo repository.
Instead of doing the same again, we now patch up our specific modifications
using sed within the postPatch hook.
In addition to that, we now have another patch from RedHat/Fedora which syncs
the NSS PEM support repository with the latest upstream changes. Patch is coming
from the SRPM at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=3772072 and I
just stripped the "0001-" prefix from the filename.

This patch is cherry-picked from VirtualBox Subversion, revision 44867.
It's rather small and only is in effect if kernel version is >= 3.9.0, so it
won't break existing kernels, so I'm adding it here despite we usually only care
about the latest stable upstream (kernel) versions.

This adds a patch to support CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS being activated in
the kernel config (selected by CONFIG_USER_NS for example).
When this kernel option is enabled, current->cred->uid is a structure rather
than a simple integer type (uid_t and gid_t), so we need to check for that and
also pass the current user namespace where needed.
