For kernel development, it's handy to have a Git tree with all these patches applied. However since the existing source of truth is these patch files, instead of directly providing such a tree, it's simpler to just provide a script that generates one.

The user needs to run it from a kernel tree checked out at a specific revision, but they don't need to know that, they can just run it and it will tell them.
