It seems like a really bad idea to me to have the CI build modify the
source tree before building.

The kernel being built will have a dirty git repo, and the localversion
will have -dirty in it.

I think it would be better to do out-of-tree builds and assume the
source is read-only.

Ditto for the config changes in the context here. Those are files in
git, don't change them.

Shouldn't this use something like 'scripts/config --enable' or
'scripts/config --disable' on the .config file to be used for building
instead?
