This is is mostly for those who've wanted something like this.  It still
needs cleanup.

This patch enables OpenWRT to re-construct a kernel git tree instead of
just extracting and patching the kernel sources to an essentially
temporary directory.  It's VERY helpful when you're trying to backport,
git-blame, or just understand why a change was made.  Details are in the
patch message and Kconfig documentation.

If devs are interested in this patch for upstream I can clean it up. 
As-is, it spits you to a shell if anything goes wrong, so only works
with -j1.
