Create 'custom' subdirectory.
This directory is a place for users to add custom packages
and patches outside of the rest of the openpower package
tree. This allows them to more easily maintain a fork of
op-build and enhance it with their own packages.

+This directory is for placing custom packages that can be kept separate from
+an upstream op-build. The purpose of this is to make pulling in upstream
+op-build updates much easier, since your customizations will not touch any
+files also modified by op-build changes.
+
+openpower/custom/configs # For machine configs (*_defconfig files)
+ /package # For additional packages.
+ /patches # For patching existing packages.
+
+It is recommended that the layout of the custom/configs and custom/package
+directories follow the layout of the openpower/ peers.
+
+The openpower/custom/patches directory should have subdirectories for each
+package desired to be patched and patch files contained inside. For example
+to add a patch to skiboot you would create:
+ openpower/custom/patches/skiboot/skiboot-0001-example.patch
