Add better support for (non-incremental) 2.6.x.y patches; If an ending
version number if not specified, the script automatically increments the
SUBLEVEL (x in 2.6.x.y) until no more patch files are found; however,
EXTRAVERSION (y in 2.6.x.y) is never automatically incremented but must be
specified fully.
patch-kernel does not normally support reverse patching, but does so when
applying EXTRAVERSION (x.y) patches, so that moving from 2.6.11.y to
2.6.11.z is easy and handled by the script (reverse 2.6.11.y and apply
2.6.11.z).

Update 'scripts/patch-kernel' to support EXTRAVERSION.
Update usage message text.
Fix some whitespace.
Handle command line arg3 (stop-version) more carefully.
No changes to -ac patch updates.
EXTRAVERSION handling:
any leading '.' and any trailing modifier (beginning with any
punctuation, like "-ac" or "_kexec" or "+mm") are stripped,
trying to get down to just a number.
Then 'patch-kernel' increments EXTRAVERSION as long as it can
apply "patch-V.P.S.X*". When that file isn't found, it resets
EXTRAVERSION to "" and increments SUBLEVEL (as before this patch).
Works for me.

The following trivial patch makes the patch-kernel script executable by
a bare bone POSIX shell like ash. Either that, or the interpreter line
has to be changed to /bin/bash.
The same patch applies to 2.4 (with some line offset).
