kernel/linux: add alternate download locations

Since kernel.org is dead, and there is no announced or known estimated
time or return to normality, it is impossible to download any kernel at
this time.

Add a known-working mirror.

fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.

The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
