[Click] Click and kernel patches

[Eddie Kohler]

Hi Lars,

My plan for the future is to further develop the linuxpatchless 
infrastructure, which lets us run Click on unmodified kernels.

So I would love for people to test this, such as you.  Let us know how it 
goes.  The only thing missing that I know of is FromHost.
