Add better support for (non-incremental) 2.6.x.y patches; If an ending
version number if not specified, the script automatically increments the
SUBLEVEL (x in 2.6.x.y) until no more patch files are found; however,
EXTRAVERSION (y in 2.6.x.y) is never automatically incremented but must be
specified fully.
patch-kernel does not normally support reverse patching, but does so when
applying EXTRAVERSION (x.y) patches, so that moving from 2.6.11.y to
2.6.11.z is easy and handled by the script (reverse 2.6.11.y and apply
2.6.11.z).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
