Michael Raskin 0274e5e95a Added something like linux_2_6_23. Really -rc8. Rationale:
1. Not to forget all the systemKernel choices.
2. To learn new problems, so that adding actual 2.6.23 will be easily done.

*** Updating the kernel configs ***

- Copy the old Nix expression (e.g. linux-2.6.21.nix) to the new one
  (e.g. linux-2.6.22.nix) and update it.
- Add an new attribute to all-packages.nix.

For each platform (i686, x86-64, uml):

- Make an svn copy from the old config (e.g. config-2.6.21-i686-smp)
  to the new one (e.g. (e.g. config-2.6.22-i686-smp).
- Unpack the new kernel.
- Copy the config file for this platform
  (e.g. config-2.6.22-i686-smp) to .config.
- Run `make oldconfig', answer all questions.  (For the uml
  configuration, add "ARCH=um SHELL=bash".)
- Make sure that CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING is NOT SET (otherwise fbsplash
  won't work).  If it is, investigate why (there's probably another
  option that forces it to be on) and fix it.
- Copy .config to the new config file (e.g. config-2.6.21-i686-smp).
