Subject[RFC PATCH v2 1/1] scripts: Introduce a default git.orderFile
Date
When reviewing patches, it looks much nicer to have some changes shown
before others, which allow better understanding of the patch before the
the .c files reviewing.

Introduce a default git.orderFile, in order to help developers getting the
best ordering easier.

Signed-off-by: Leonardo Bras <leobras@redhat.com>

Please provide feedback on what else to add / remove / reorder here!

Changes since RFCv1:
- Added Kconfig* (thanks Randy Dunlap!)
- Changed Kbuild to Kbuild* (improve matching)
