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.

     5  I am working on a powerpc 860 toolchain, but I am having problems  

     6  convincing glibc to not emit code that uses the dcbz instruction (CPU15  

     7  dcbX bug). The source of the problem is sysdeps/powerpc/power3/memset.S
