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)

Touches c216, x230-flash, x230-legacy and x230-maximized.
TODO: Other boards, including AMD ones (qemu/kgpe) have this ON, including nv41/ns50 (which uses i915drm which most probably causes problems)
Note that qemu boards use q35 in config, but were made to have both i440fx and q35, where q35 is tested, which explains why its on by default there.

- intel igpu related - remove i915drmfb hacks and use simplefb and libgfxinit enabled fb
- coreboot 4.19: add patch to fix https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/500. fbwhiptail still tears screen if in native 1366x769 though
- coreboot 4.19: add patch to enable linux tampoline handle coreboot framebuffer (merged https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/76431)
- coreboot 4.19: add patch to enable coreboot to apply jpeg voodoo to create bootsplash.jpeg injected in cbfs at build time + CircleCI apt imagemagick
- (Thanks Nico Huber @icon again for above patches!)
- coreboot configs: adapt VESAFB/LIBGFXINIT to use maximum fb height/width
- coreboot configs for iGPU only: CONFIG_LINEAR_FRAMEBUFFER_MAX_HEIGHT CONFIG_LINEAR_FRAMEBUFFER_MAX_WIDTH to native size
- coreboot configs for dGPU based on Optional VBIOS injected: VESAFB set to 1280x1024 (maximum possible).
Details:
coreboot configs: remove CONFIG_LINUX_COMMAND_LINE="drm_kms_helper.drm_leak_fbdev_smem=1 i915.enable_fbc=0"
- Those were needed to expose i915drmfb driver prior of efifb working.
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.

It was impossible to use directly 4.14 defconfig and apply it to 5.10.
Saving 4.14 in oldconfig, then editing in 5.10 was necessary.
- E1000E module (as kernel module support...) was lost in conversion and needed to be added back.
Also tuned things up:
- legacy-flash has no RETPOLINE, no security policy at all. Has expected usb controllers modules, exFAT and bare minimal support for flashrom.
- IMPORTANT: CONFIG_X86_IOPL_IOPERM kernel option is required by flashrom
- legacy adds sata, retpoline, additional modules (ethernet), security policy related material on top of legacy-flash config
- maximized adds MMC card support, mousedev+synaptic (to report presence through oem-system-info-xx30), thin provisioning+snapshot support
- tuned with linux.prompt_for_new_config_options_for_kernel_version_bump
Current storage format is oldconfig from now on for proper analysis. If needed, once can save back in defconfig prior of bumping to newer version.
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/

Those boards now produce 4MB coreboot ROM and according CBFS small size, and remove the logic to extract 4Mb ROM out of the 12Mb rom which for some reason, was now misaligned.
config/coreboot-xx30-flash : remove all unnneded stuff to xx30-flash boards.
config/linux-x230-flash: used commonly for all xx30-flash boards, this is now finally saved with savedeconfig, and removes another bunch of unneeded stuff.
Tested working. Fixes#1095
