Rolf Neugebauer 7209afb758 kernel: Enable custom kernel config additions
For some use cases, we may want to add additional kernel
configuration options (e.g. when adding AUFS). This commit
enables it by:
- renaming DEBUG to EXTRA
- append kernel_config${EXTRA} to the kernel config
- allowing passing in an EXTRA argument to the make file

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:
