linux/manual-config: Do source unpacking/patching in a separate derivation.
...
Since we keep the source in the kernel build anyway, no space is wasted by having a separate store path for the unpacked source. The upside is that the same source can be used to build the kernel multiple times, or generate configurations for later kernel builds, without going through the (fairly long) unpack and patch process multiple times.

It is probably a kernel build system bug that this is necessary, but it's not really a big deal either.

linux/manual-config: Change from 'features' to 'config' and fix build when firmware is installed.
...
Instead of manually adding which 'features' a kernel has based on its config here, just generate a nixexpr representation of the whole config and let places that need it (e.g. NixOS modules) decide how to map config options to features.
Note that if your kernel requires firmware whose hex file sits directly in ${src}/firmware rather than in a subdirectory thereof, you may need this patch for now: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/31/724

Add first attempt at linux/kernel/manual-config.
...
The goal of this function is to make it possible to build a kernel with a user provided .config.
As a secondary goal, it will extract NixOS-relevant features from the config automatically.
As a tertiary goal, the build will aim to be simpler than the current generic kernel builder.sh.
Unfortunately, that simplicity is offset by the complexity of the feature extraction, especially since nix segfaults when trying to split the file into lines (so an import from a derivation is used)
