In this patch my goal is to improve Linux kernel codebase to able to edit/coding 
in any platform, in an IDE which has a modern GUI.

Chillout, i am not so stupid to compile kernel on this "braindamaged setup", I 
just like to edit the code and manage it by git commands.

So, this is a tipical Braindamaged setup in 2024 for Generation of a half of Y 
(like me), Z and Alpha developers.

Windows or MacOS system
- Visual Studio Code for coding
     - Git for manage kernel source
     - IntelliSense in coding
     - Live coding with other developers

Linux remote server
- Visual Studio Code remote SSH extension/connection for Linux server
     - Sync kernel workdir with remote Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL Linux server
     - Remote SSH compile for X86_64, ARM64 etc ...
     - Download the build result

Instead of Visual Studio Code it can be possible to use JetBrains, Eclipse and 
so on any other modern IDE. The actual limitation is only, that there is a 
filename issue in the Linux kernel source with 
"Z6.0+pooncelock+poonceLock+pombonce.litmus", why git clone is failed to work 
well in this case-insensitive OSs.
