Revert "Added local directory as source of kernel code"
This reverts commit 73da2ff6f718f2889e3c5024d899f8d58f502863.
The reason for adding support for a local location was to be able to do
development on the Linux kernel source tree on a local directory rather
than have to clone it for every build.
We already have a mechanism for that, it's called override-srcdir. It's
been available since September 2011, more than a year before this patch
was committed.
Otherwise, we're going to be adding support for local sources in other
packages. First was U-Boot as submitted by Adam. But what next? We can't
have such support for all packages, especially since override-srcdir
does the job.
Besides, using a local source tree makes the build non-reproducible, so
we don't really want to have this in a .config (or defconfig).
We only handle the boolean option in legacy, as there is nothing we can
do with the directory path.
