Subject: [RFC] scripts: add gen-linux-conf for remote kernel configuration
The new 'make localmodconfig' proves very useful but on low end
systems we do not want to 'git clone' an entire kernel tree or
download a whole kernel but just cross compile the kernel on a
bigger machine. The .config generated with 'make localmodconfig'
is still very helpfup though so to aid users and developers
with that add a script which builds a tarball with only the
necessary kernel glue stuff to be able to generate a local
minimum kernel configuration with 'make localmodconfig'.
With this you can copy to your target device a relatively
small tarball (1.2 MB currenty) and, allows you to modify
the kernel config for your tree (mconf, conf, etc) and
finally run 'make localmodconfig'.

I had an itch to scratch and that was to use 'localmodconfig'
on a small netbook but I didn't want to clone a whole tree
or even compile an entire kernel on it. This did the trick,
thought others might find it useful.
A little grimy the bash script, but hey it works and its simple
enough. I tried to reduce the Makefile count to only arch/ but
found that that didn't do the trick. Perhaps this can be optimized
more, suggestions welcomed. Maybe it should be written in Go :)
What would be *real* nice is to give an IP address of a box and
have it build and fetch a localmodconfig .config for you.
