[Buildroot] [RFC 0/2] Add support for specifying a custom kernel directory

[Florian Fainelli]

Hi,

This series allows specifying a custom kernel directory which could be an
existing git tree. This is particularly useful when doing kernel development
and having an existing git checkout where development is happening.

Ideally, I would like to avoid doing the rsync operation involved with the "local" method
and instead just have a symbolic link from /path/to/kernel -> output/build/linux.

Comments welcome!
