Okay now all we have to do is incorporate the patch into genkernel. I've
compiled many kernels with the patch and am happy to have localversion support,
just another usability step on gentoo's path to world domination.

Fixed in genkernel-3.2.0_pre7, please test and reopen if issues persist. Thanks!
