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)

CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y: Remove preemptiveness for servers. Under heads, we are single tasking. No point having this big thing in kernel https://lwn.net/Articles/746780/
IO scheduler: only enable CONFIG_MQ_IOSCHED_DEADLINE=y since we want maximum throughput and do not have concurrent tasks
CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION=y : Enable CPU Isolation accross all boards: this permits to make sure that the kernel tasks running on a CPU are not distrurbed bu user tasks
CONFIG_MULTIUSER not defined: Removing cluttering since we are single root user under Heads anyway
CONFIG_IO_URING=y : limit number of copy operations between kernel and user space from apps
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA not defined: relevant for older hardware (less then 32bit addressing space)
CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE not defined: relevant for older smp systems
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is enabled and SCHEDUTIL is disabled: we want performance with CPU sched with deadline IO.
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_INTEL_UNCORE and CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_INTEL_CSTATE not defined: we want max perf on Heads
CONFIG_X86_VSYSCALL_EMULATION not defined: no need for syscall emulation under Heads
CONFIG_SECCOMP not defined : usefull if BPF is enabled and used.
CONFIG_ACPI_SPCR_TABLE=y : usefull for serial redirection table and earlycon
CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG CONFIG_MMCONF_FAM10H unset but for kgpe-d16 which is either fam10h of fam15h
CONFIG_DM_SNAPSHOT=y CONFIG_DM_THIN_PROVISIONING=y so that recovery shell can provide LVM/DM functionality in later PR.
CONFIG_EXFAT_FS=y so that exfat preformated thumb drives can work out of the box
Adjust CONFIG_HW_RANDOM per platform, removing CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_TIMERIOMEM
Only support processor family needed per board (AMD only AMD, Intel only Intel, removing CONFIG_CPU_SUP_HYGON CONFIG_CPU_SUP_HYGON CONFIG_CPU_SUP_CENTAUR CONFIG_CPU_SUP_ZHAOXIN CONFIG_CPU_SUP_ZHAOXIN everywhere
qemu: support both AMD and INTEL as an exception for the above.

kexec(8) needs to get the framebuffer address in order to set up the
new kernel's boot parameters. This is one of the reasons that using a
>4.20 kernel in Heads prevents framebuffer graphics from working in the
OS kernel.
Linux 4.20 started hiding this address from userspace, because
userspace is not supposed to need physical memory addresses. A
workaround was added to keep leaking the address, apparently for some
proprietary userspace OpenGL drivers. This requires both a Kconfig and
a kernel parameter.
This commit enables the Kconfig on the librem_common config, and the
kernel parameter on the librem_15v4 (where I'm testing this). We will
need to enable it on other >4.20 configs/boards as well.

This makes configs much less dependent on directory layout.
As of this commit the following variables are supported:
* @BOARD_BUILD_DIR@ - absolute path under build/
* @BLOB_DIR@ - absolute path to blobs/

EC signatures requires that the digest has the corresponding length. Removing the hardcoded sha2-256 hash function and adding support of sha2-384 and sha2-512 should allow using EC crypto.
Testing point:
- All board configs not explicitely stating export CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD=y should not have any impact
- librem_l1um, kgpe-d16_workstation-usb_keyboard, librem_mini_v2 and librem_mini will loose USB Keyboard input with this commit alone.

* modules: add purism-blobs module
Rather than require users to manually run a script to download the required
blobs to build Purism Librem boards, automate it so the correct version
is automatically downloaded/extracted. Restrict to coreboot 4.12 for now
since 4.8.1 still needs FSP blobs, which are not in module.
