Tracking kernel commits across branches

With all of the different Linux kernel stable releases happening (at least 1
stable branch and multiple longterm branches are active at any one point in
time), keeping track of what commits are already applied to what branch, and
what branch specific fixes should be applied to, can quickly get to be a very
complex task if you attempt to do this manually. So I’ve created some tools to
help make my life easier when doing the stable kernel maintenance work, which
ended up making the work of tracking CVEs much simpler to manage in an
automated way.
