Seems to my little brain (yes, it's real small when it comes to these matters) that it would almost make more sense to offer the vanilla kernel as is, then have each of these (currently their own ebuilds) patches as add on ebuilds, such as emerge vanillia-kernel, emerge grsecurity-patch, emerge nvidia-patch, etc. After all, it's not like the ebuild for the kernel compiles it in the first place, and as far as I know these patches add/replace to the existing structure, right?
