abidiff and abidw support handling Linux Kernel binaries by default.  No need
to provide any command line option.  Just give these tools a decompressed
vmlinux binary compiled with debug info and voila.

This has been merged into master.  The relevant commits are
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libabigail.git;a=commit;h=fadfa1a6f6a18b46e7a4164bd87743bd5202054e
and

This is the first step of the plan we outlined to support Linux Kernel binaries
and Linux Kernel development work flows in general.

There still are tasks to complete for this enhancement request to be done.
Details are available in comment
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20514#c3.

Those tasks are going to be worked on on in the dodji/kabidiff branch as in the
past.
