We used to have issues removing tasks like do_fetch due to implications
for targets like world and universe. These have now been resolved.
Removing uneeded tasks has advantages compared to noexec since it means
that accidentally left in dependencies are no longer needed/processed
(e.g. do_patch depends on quilt-native).
This cleans up a number of cases which local analysis highlighted as
being unneeded leading to slightly cleaner task graphs.

The kernel-abiversion is now in STAGING_KERNEL_BUILDDIR not in S.
Fixed rpm pkg like perf: (note the None version)

In particular this removes a race condition where a ${S}/patches
directory could be created by do_unpack. This confuses kern-tools.

In 1.8 we want to streamline the kernel build process. Basically we
currently have multiple copies of the kernel source floating around
and the copying/compression/decompression is painful.
Lets assume we have a kernel source per machine since in most cases
this is true (and we have a sysroot per machine anyway). Basically,
instead of extracting a source into WORKDIR, then copying to a sysroot,
we now set S to point straight at STAGING_DIR_KERNEL.
Anything using kernel source can then just point at it and use:
do_configure[depends] += "virtual/kernel:do_patch"
to depend on the kernel source being present. Note this is different
behaviour to DEPENDS += "virtual/kernel" which equates to
do_configure[depends] += "virtual/kernel:do_populate_sysroot".
Once we do this, we no longer need the copy operation in
do_populate_sysroot, in fact there is nothing to do there (yay).
The remaining part of the challenge is to kill off the horrible
do_install. This patch splits it off to a different class, the idea here
is to have a separate recipe which depends on the virtual/kernel:do_patch
and just installs and packages the source needed to build modules on
target into a specific package.
Right now this code is proof of concept. It builds kernels and kernel
modules. perf blows up in do_package with issues on finding the kernel
version which can probably be fixed by adding back the right bit of do_install,
and adding a dependency of do_package[depends] += "virtual/kernel:do_install"
to perf. The whole thing needs a good write up, the corner cases testing
and probably a good dose of cleanup to the remaining code.
