[PATCH] patch-kernel: support non-incremental 2.6.x.y 'stable' patches
Add better support for (non-incremental) 2.6.x.y patches; If an ending version number if not specified, the script automatically increments the SUBLEVEL (x in 2.6.x.y) until no more patch files are found; however, EXTRAVERSION (y in 2.6.x.y) is never automatically incremented but must be specified fully. patch-kernel does not normally support reverse patching, but does so when applying EXTRAVERSION (x.y) patches, so that moving from 2.6.11.y to 2.6.11.z is easy and handled by the script (reverse 2.6.11.y and apply 2.6.11.z).
