Problem description:
Funtoo's kernel-2.eclass file produces the wrong URI for patches, producing 404 errors from distfiles.gentoo.org (which no longer supplies .xz compressed patches) and kernel.org (which appears not to have the latest patches). This prevents the emerging of recent git-sources kernels (4.16+).
Steps to reproduce:
Run `ebuild /var/git/meta-repo/kits/nokit/sys-kernel/git-sources/git-sources-4.16_rc6.ebuild fetch --skip-manifest`
Output of reproduction steps:

Suggested solution:
Merge the Gentoo kernel-2.eclass file into Funtoo's kernel-2.eclass file. This may have been performed in May 2017 as part of the resolution for issue FL-3805 but the changes are no longer applied. Significant lines of the two eclass files are linked below.
