Hey folks,
So, this is the start of my plans to make a howto guide to build the kernel
with the ck patches, locally.  I figured I would work it out on this list,
so if anyone wants to help out or give feedback, they can.

One question is where to put this guide once it is done.  I have a blog
account that I never use, so for lack of a better idea, I can post it there
for now.

Here is a 1st draft structure of the guide.  Not much to see here:

Introduction
 - Why the guide exists
 - Why you may want to build the ck patched kernel locally
 - Why you will want to follow this guide over others to accomplish the
local build

Overview
 - Structure of the guide / how one should expect to use this guide on a
regular basis
 - Who should follow the guide / What technical skills are needed to follow
the guide (ie, you need to understand directories and how they are
referenced in bash)
 - - maybe some links to bash guides?  I dunno

Initial setup
 - Install all the packages needed to patch and build the kernel
 - setup a suggested source directory structure and naming convention
 - acquire the appropriate set of ck patches

Patch and build
 - download the latest kernel version for precise
 - apply patches
 - configure
 - execute build command

Installation
 - Where to find the .deb files, and how to install them

Package management ? maybe
 - advice on how to keep track of the kernels installed, and remove old ones
