Rolf Neugebauer 5afc16f275 kernel: Enable building kernels without patches
Copying the entire local directory into the container allows
us to check for the existence of the patch directory and
only apply the patches if the directory exists.

An alternative would have been to re-arrange the patch directory
into a sub-directory, but in terms of copying wouldn't have
made that much if a difference.

See ../docs/kernel-patches.md for more information on kernel builds.

To build with various debug options enabled, build the kernel with make DEBUG=1. The options enabled are listed in kernel_config.debug. This allocates a significant amount of memory on boot and you may need to adjust the kernel config on some systems. Specifically:
