docs: generic-kernels: Allow cherry-picking patches to fix compilation

Browse source 
In the case that the compilation is broken, it is not possible to wait
until a patch is merged upstream to fix it. We want to be able to patch
the kernels temporarily while also ensuring the fixes make it upstream.

@ -78,8 +78,11 @@ The following types of patches can be temporarily added to the generic kernels:
`-stable` kernels (not to `-lts`).
* Reverting patches that broke something (while also following up upstream to
get the patch fixed or reverted).
* Patches to build the kernel with our toolchains (while also making sure those
get upstreamed eventually)
Out-of-tree patches are not acceptable for the generic kernels.
Generally speaking, out-of-tree patches or non-upstreamable patches are not
acceptable for the generic kernels.
