Bash uses .build to keep count of the build number, which conflicts
with heads build system usage of .build to keep track of built modules.
If .build already exists when bash/configure is run it will increment by 1
the build number. This is configurable on the call to the support script
support/mkversion.sh, which is called from the bash/Makefile.
Patching the Makefile template used during bash configuration allows
disabling the build number increment.

We don't need coreboot to initialize graphics on this boards, this
eliminates some unneeded code and the gnat dependency for them.
Coreboot was using libgfxinit, but it was initializing in text mode.
Heads' kernel will then switch to graphics mode, and we hand that
framebuffer from i915 to the target kernel during kexec.

Most useful to me are:
coreboot.modify_and_save_defconfig_in_place
coreboot.modify_and_save_oldconfig_in_place
linux.modify_and_save_oldconfig_in_place
linux.modify_and_save_defconfig_in_place
Which permit to take current in tree configs and translate them into other format.
This is useful when trying to version bump and build.
Also add helpers to save in versioned version to facilitate change tracking:
linux.generate_and_save-versioned-oldconfig
linux.regenerate_and_save_versioned_defconfig
Update kexec to 2.0.26. Add tracing to framebuffer initialization. In
particular, the driver name is traced if not recognized, and messages
about kernel config are shown if the kernel doesn't provide the
framebuffer pointer.

Add CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_LEAK_PHYS_SMEM and related kernel parameters to
t440p. This board is already on kernel 5.10 and uses i915 graphics.

Allow leaking the DRM framebuffer pointer to userspace, and disable
framebuffer compression, like librem_15v4.
Tested booting memtest86+ and Debian netinstaller on Mini v2.
Do not enable this for L1UM, it uses Aspeed graphics which still don't
work. qemu uses virtio graphics, which also are not working.

Compressed framebuffer requires the driver to track updates to the
framebuffer from the CPU and update the compressed framebuffer. This
doesn't work if we kexec into an OS that will use the linear
framebuffer, so disable it. (The OS kernel can still use compressed
framebuffer if it has i915.)
Linux 5.8 enabled compressed framebuffer on more chipsets using i915,
which is why this stopped working.
memtest86+ and Debian (manually blacklisted i915, comparable to
netinst) now boot correctly on Librem 15v4. This will need to be
enabled for other boards too.

The i915 driver's ID changed again, now to i915drmfb.
It's unclear why kexec checks this, it seems it could populate the
target kernel's framebuffer info as long as it knows enough about the
host kernel's framebuffer, which it already checks. Maybe we could
improve this, for now just add the new ID again.

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 isn't in a loop, continue makes no sense. ash had silently
ignored it. Proceeding to the do_boot below is the correct behavior.

For partitioned media or when more than one device is present, this
fixes a benign script error that ash had apparently ignored.

By default json-c builds as debug instead of release.
Adding CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=minsizerel ensures it does not
add debug info and also optimizes for file size.
