The IXP4xx is well supported upstream and can readily be
supported with kernel v6.6. To simplify things after the
DTS directory was renamed, switch to v6.6 only.
Bring in some outstanding patches.
Tested on the Gateworks GW2348-4.

This resurrects the support for IXP4xx using device tree
rather than the old (deleted) board files. The final pieces
of IXP4xx board files were deleted in Linux v5.19.
Ext4 root filesystems on CF and USB are supported by the
default config.
We support these three initial targets:
- The Gateworks Avila GW2348 reference design has 64MB of RAM
and 32MB of flash and also supports USB and CompactFlash.
- The Gateworks Cambria GW2358 reference design has 128MB of
RAM and 32MB of flash and also supports USB and CompactFlash.
- The old and stable Linksys NSLU2 works fine as well, albeit
it only has 32MB of RAM so it has been marked as non-default.
The 8MB of flash can only fit the kernel, so it has been
patched to boot from exteral media on USB. I have used
it successfully as a NAS with ksmbd and LUCI web API, see:

This target is still on kernel 4.9, and it looks like there is no
active maintainer for this target anymore.
Remove the code and all the packages which are only used by this target.
To add this target to OpenWrt again port it to a recent and supported
kernel version.

Do not put the apex images into the kernel build directory as this directory
might get removed after kernel updates while the apex packages InstallDev
recipe is not getting re-executed because it is still considered current,
leading to image build failures later on due to missing images.
To ensure that built bootloader images persist over kernel version updates in
the buildroot, put them into the new STAGING_DIR_IMAGE directory.

In order to support both normal images and initramfs, ensure that each
target sets KERNELNAME properly so that the generic kernel building code
can copy the corresponding files over $(KDIR) with the appropriate
extension. Update the various paths to the kernel and wrapper images
from $(LINUX_DIR)/arch/$(ARCH)/boot/$(foo) to $(KDIR)/$(foo).
