Changes for 2.6.25

[Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>]

Hi folks

I intend to do the following changes to the linux-2.6 core before
2.6.25.

Generic:
- Deprecate kernel-package method. It is still used for alpha, arm,
  armel, hppa, ia64, mips, mipsel, sparc. It will be removed after the
  2.6.25 release to make it possible to use features like out-of-tree
  builds.
- Drop ext2 built-in exception for arm and mips.

Patchsystem:
- Use new patch series infrastructure (used for genorig already).
- Make patches mutal. This removes the abbility to use linux-2.6 as
  source for the kernel udebs.

Further changes coming.

Bastian
