kernel/linux: longterm kernel location changed

The location of the longterm Linux kernels on FTP has changed.
Here is a simple (but not very versatile) fix.

This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
yann@2173
     5
MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.5.1,
yann@2173
     6
for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision
yann@2173
     7
floating point instructions by default.

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
yann@2173
    10
sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
yann@2173
    11
from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
yann@2173
    12
the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
yann@2173
    13
were only passing -mno-spe by default."
