  1. scripts/kernel_upgrade: create kernel configuration upgrade script 

    Create a script for automating kernel version changes.  This
generates a pair of commits which cause history to remain attached to
all versioned configuration files.

Crucially this makes `git blame` work without needing
--find-copies-harder, which is too slow for routine use.  This also
updates *everything*, which greatly simplifies rebasing patches
which effect multiple devices.

Credit to Christian Marangi who knew of the technique:

  2. scripts/kernel_upgrade: add partial update functionality to script 

    This matches the way this has been handled in the past.  This could
also help devices which were skipped due to abandoned plans to drop.
