When reviewing patches, it looks much nicer to have some changes shown
before others, which allow better understanding of the patch before the
the .c files reviewing.

Introduce a default git.orderFile, in order to help developers getting the
best ordering easier.

Please provide feedback on what else to add / remove / reorder here!

Changes since RFCv1:
- Added Kconfig* (thanks Randy Dunlap!)
- Changed Kbuild to Kbuild* (improve matching)
