A list of additional patches to apply to the kernel.
Every item should be an attribute set with the following attributes:
```nix
{
name = "foo"; # descriptive name, required
patch = ./foo.patch; # path or derivation that contains the patch source
# (required, but can be null if only config changes
# are needed)
structuredExtraConfig = { # attrset of extra configuration parameters
FOO = lib.kernel.yes; # (without the CONFIG_ prefix, optional)
}; # values should generally be lib.kernel.yes or lib.kernel.no
features = { # attrset of extra "features" the kernel is considered to have
foo = true; # (may be checked by other NixOS modules, optional)
};
extraConfig = "CONFIG_FOO y"; # extra configuration options in string form
# (deprecated, use structuredExtraConfig instead, optional)
}
```
There's a small set of existing kernel patches in Nixpkgs, available as `pkgs.kernelPatches`,
that follow this format and can be used directly.
