I found some solution which would make easier to work around lack of most recent linux kernel releases on kernel.org.
As I can see, for now, you are just preparing patches for bare 3.0 version and putting it on ftp.archlinux.org.

I think better (and even easier to maintain) solution is to put in source=() array entry like:

source=(
...
"patch-${pkgver}::https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=v${pkgver};hp=v${_basekernel}"
...
)

I probably don't have to explain anything more.
This task depends upon
