>Description:

	This small patch adds a kernel identifier to the GENERIC kernel file.
This allows the user to keep their GENERIC kernel up to date as a backup
while not influencing their "regular" kernel. It also has the benefit of
moving the old kernel.GENERIC to kernel.GENERIC.old during the
'make install' step. 

>How-To-Repeat:

	Track a -stable release, have your real kernel blow up, have
kernel.GENERIC not work because it's too out of date. :)

>Fix:
	
	Apply the following patch:
