Yes, when I work on the kernel, I do not want to restart from unpack.
I would like to edit the existing ${S}and then restart a compile.
Once the compile succeeds, I want to deploy.
Once the kernel does what it is supposed to, I generate a patch
which is then added to the recipe.

At that time, I want to cleansstate and rebuild/retest.
To come around this problem right now, my kernel recipe generates a script
in ${S}, which will compile the kernel image and then copies it directly
to my tftp directory.
