Yes - that would be at ~/code is where I set up the clone
and KDIR should then be set to ~/code/linux
because when cloning  http://git.hands.com/linux.git, it drops the
files into a sub directory called linux (NOT linux-sunxi !!!!!!!!!!).

Can you then begin to imagine the amount of confusion if following the
instruction at  http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner/a20/boot/ as is???

There is never going to be a linux-sunxi sub directory and you are toast
at the first line because there is hint on how to progress. (I really
wonder how many people have gotten past the first line now! :)  )

I try it later tonight if not tomorrow and update documentation when it
works.
