Extra tag support is introduced to solve following issues:

  1. ensure that with any checked out code, When we can successfully build a kernel, and successfully download one, they are the same.
  2. when we add a patch to an existing kernel source code package, we can use extra tag to distinguish them.

When download fails, one can always build one.

The extra tag started empty.

In order to make sure the downloaded package is identical with package
that would be built by the source code, defining the download target
and url with defined tags.

So when a particular download target is not available yet, the download
will fail and user will have to build it.
