Subject: [PATCH] bin/get-compat-kernels: Do not depend on Ubuntu

Use Ubuntu PPA vanilla kernels on other distributions too.
The .deb files are extracted using 'ar' and 'tar'.

Also check if the target directory exists before downloading
the deb files.

Nice! Some notes below but these things can be addressed as
evolutionary changes. Since we already use sudo the part below is fine
too, but if we can later make ckmake be non-dependent on root that'd
be neat. But merged as-is for now, thanks!
