Isn't it just as easy to change the address directly in
buildconfigs/Rules.mk? Alternatively you can download the kernel from
wherever you like and place it at the root of the build tree, or in
the immediate parent directory, and the build process will
automatically pick it up rather than contact www.kernel.org.

I don't think adding yet another build variable is worthwhile.
