I maintain the original LXR site at lxr.linux.no, which unfortunately
tends to lag behind quite a bit.  This is partly due to lack of time
to keep it current on my part, but also due to the fact that adding
new kernels to the version running on lxr.linux.no is a bit more time
and resource-consuming than it ought to be.  Better support for both
incremental indexing and git-based repos is forthcoming, and I hope
the situation will improve a bit with that.  I'll keep you posted.
