James Cloos already indicated that on lkml[1].  I prepared a patch but
didn't sent it to lkml.

Maybe you're happy with the following patch, too?  With it .config is
included if it exists and no error occurs if not.

{{{
Include .config for target kernelrelease if it exists

With this fix the value of CONFIG_LOCALVERSION is appended to the output
of `make kernelrelease`.  The git tag is *not* appended (yet) without a
.config.
