[PATCH 0/5] sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-modprep and kernel-install.eclass / dist-kernel-utils.eclass refactoring

Hi,

Here's a series of patches to add a new sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-modprep
package.  It provides the bare minimum subset of prebuilt kernel files
(i.e. modules_prepare + Module.symvers et al.) that are needed to build
kernel modules, therefore making them a useful time- and space-saver for
AT containers (where kernel packages are currently blacklisted entirely,
blocking module package stablereqs indefinitely).

The part put up for review are the two refactoring eclass patches that
move bits of kernel-install.eclass into dist-kernel-utils.eclass, making
them reusable for the new packages.

The sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-modprep package is a "first approximation",
subject to future changes.  Notably, I'd like to replace the usage of
kernel binary packages (meaning a ~300M download) with a small repacked
distfile.
