[PATCH] kbuild: Add make dir-pkg build option

[PATCH] kbuild: Add make dir-pkg build option

[Matteo Croce]

Add a 'dir-pkg' target which just creates the same directory structures
as in tar-pkg, but doesn't package anything.
Useful when the user wants to copy the kernel tree on a machine using
ssh, rsync or whatever.

Sorry for the late reply.
One nit.

The 'opts' assignment is unneeded for dir-pkg.
You can exit before the "# Create the tarball" comment line.
