The reason why we have patches instead of a separate repo are because of
the following reasons:
1. We don't want to make a repo to which users contribute to. While
people haven't tried to commit to my repository yet, this is
yet another incentive for people to upstream into Linux kernel
mainline. Most of the functionality is here. We just need to
upstream it.
2. I assume that all the patches here aren't needed. This calls
for a scream test. People who find functionalality missing will
open an issue. It becomes trivial to add/remove patches from
the `source=...` var rather than repackaging the entire kernel.
The next commit aims to remove a lot of patches and see if there
are people who rely on said functionality. If not, there is no
requirement to upstream it.
