Howto build Android kernel

[Sean McNeil]

Hi Rui,

I carry around a small patch that hacks in the menu button until I can 
figure out how to gracefully add the capability into Android. There is 
also some configuration changes that I use to include functionality into 
the kernel. Android can load kernel modules, but I tend to prefer not 
using them at this time.

Attached you'll find the change and config I use for the Android kernel.
