You're welcome.

My solution is to put a local .vimrc at the Linux tree top level directory 
with:

set noexpandtab
set ts=8
set shiftwidth=8

and set 'exrc' in my main .vimrc. To mitigate the security implications of 
this change I also set 'secure'.

The limitation of this solution is that I must edit kernel files with the top 
directory as my PWD.
