This patch has been working better than the previous one for us and it
has a similar property that it is a nop for developers who don't use
rpm for packaging.

    kbuild: Use KERNELRELEASE from packaging scripts
    
    This adds two changes to the kernel Makefile:
    
    * Honor KERNELRELEASE if it's already set
    * Allow external scripts to append $LOCAL_VERSION to
      $EXTRA_VERSION
