KEEP_SOURCE is ONLY intended for devs that are trying to debug compiling
code.  It was meant to save them the unpack time.  The use of KEEP_SOURCE
in the kernel modules is more of a side benefit for keeping /usr/src/linux
symlink alive.  I disagree that module patches should be applied in
PRE_BUILD all the time.  Too many modules have patches already, adding an
extraneous PRE_BUILD script for all those modules just to have ONE
patch_it line is bloat.
