Subject: [PATCH] Linux 3.8-merge version information

As the automatically generated git version information is misleading in the
merge window, name the kernel in the merge window as 3.8-merge .

This 'merge' version information helps to not interfere with 3.7-stable git
versions in the bootloader (grub) selection until 3.8-rc1 is tagged.
