Andrew, drop this please... it's totally unneeded and the changelog is wrong.

Jeff, sometimes you should upgrade changelogs... also, I'm working on Kbuild & 
UML interaction, so please send me Kbuild related patches, to avoid 
inconveniences like rejects for me and let me clean up patches...

In particular, this patch reverts some changes I did and especially readds 
this, which is a residual from when we set EXTRAVERSION in arch/um/Makefile 
so that the dependency was needed.
