This combines the usage of external kernel tree with the cloning of the
kernel tree form git. The new kernel will be cloned into an external
directory and then used from there.

This does not allow us to create a tarball of the git clone, and that's
a helpful thing to reduce constants clones (which typically take time
for such a large project as Linux).

Can you look into using the git download method (Download/git-kernel)?
