This is annoying, because we *do* need the toolchain dependency to
build the Linux kernel. I think we would rather need to do:

LINUX_HEADERS_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES = linux-patch

Though I'm not sure how great it is to have a non-package listed in the
<pkg>_DEPENDENCIES variable. Surely it might break graph-depends and
other similar tooling.
