[PATCH] kernel/linux: Allow user to manually enter Linux version

[ANDY KENNEDY <ANDY dot KENNEDY at adtran dot com>]

In addition to the choice list and the custom version, allow the user to
enter a free format version to pull from kernel.org (or the specified
local repo) as a standard version number.
