  1. pdist: Do not delete running kernel

    Add excludes on the client for the Linux version specific files and
    directories of the running kernel. This prevents the running kernel
    from being deleted on the client in case it is not installed on the
    distmaster.
    
    This can be usefull for kernel testing. Also it prevents errors, when we
    by mistake purge a kernel from the distmaster which is still in use.
    
    Notes:
    
    - The excludes just prevent files from being deleted, not from being
    replaced.
    
    - If we want to disable a loadable module (e.g. because we learned about a
    security problem with it and don't need it), we can't just delete the
    .ko file and trust pdist to delete it on the clients as well. We can
    replace it by an empty file instead.
    
    - The script doesn't keep the bee index, bee cache or the grub menu from
    being updated.
