librems vs mainline have:
- mei module not compiled in
- Streamline modules/linux Makefile helpers so that one asks on console for new Kconfig options to be y/n, another one to do olddefconfig (accept new defaults)
- Exercice proves again that oldconfig exposes new things added into kernel by default as opposed to defconfig format.
- Add TCP Syn cookies to all linux configs (all boards add CDC tethering AFAIK. Add this protection by default)
- Remove unneeded network card drivers from librems common and unify
- Remove unneeded microsoft surface drivers from librems common and unify
- Remove WMI embedded Binary MOF driver CONFIG_WMI_BMOF
- Unify removed Kconfig options from x230 ported to 6.1.8 to librems common
- Verify qemu (AMD) changes working (note, there is clock source watchdog that would need to be investigated seperately for QEMU TCG mode, that is, not KVM)
- Review crypto backend requirements/unify once more
- Removed bunch of unused stuff under QEMU Q35 (AMD)
Q/A:
- CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_NONE vs CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL? CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_NONE now.
- CONFIG_LDISC_AUTOLOAD=y?
- CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK_OPTIONAL=y?
- CONFIG_X86_THERMAL_VECTOR=y?
- ACPI-WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) mapper device (PNP0C14) enabled by ACPI_VIDEO and depended by DRM drivers.
- ACPI_VIDEO seems needed.
- CONFIG_INPUT_VIVALDIFMAP=y anabled by CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD (AT/PS2 Keyboard)

Rebuild the kernel 6.1.8 config for Librem devices starting from the
current 5.10 config as a base. The current 5.10 config had cleaned up
some unneeded options, but that hadn't been carried over to the 6.1.8
config.
Graphics init still uses EFIFB in the 6.1.8 kernel. 5.10 keeps DRM+ast
to support librem_l1um (the only board still using it).

Update all Librems except L1UM (but including L1UM v2) to Linux 6.1.8.
Use coreboot native graphics init. Raise maximum framebuffer size for
laptops to 3840x2160 (desktops default to this, but laptops default
to a lower value). Remove DRM modules from Linux 6.1.8 and add EFIFB.
Remove Heads kernel command line options relating to IOMMU and i915,
which are no longer needed. Remove OS kernel options relating to
IOMMU.
For Librem 13/15/14/Mini, this fixes issues booting with 4K displays
attached, which were resulting in crashes due to the framebuffer memory
not being reserved properly. memtest86+ now passes with a 4K display
attached.
For Librem L1UM v2, framebuffer boot now works.
Librem L1UM remains on Linux 5.10 with Heads kernel graphic init
(framebuffer boot still does not work). coreboot 4.11 has native
graphics init for Aspeed, but only in text mode. Backporting the
linear framebuffer support appears to be possible - the patch applied
cleanly - but it did not work initially and will need more
investigation.

Use CONFIG_BRAND_NAME to control the brand name displayed in the UI.
Override by setting BRAND_NAME when building, either in the Makefile or
on the command line.
