This change makes the names of Broadcom targets consistent by using
the common notation based on SoC/CPU ID (which is used internally
anyway), bcmXXXX instead of brcmXXXX.
This is even used for target TITLE in make menuconfig already,
only the short target name used brcm so far.
Despite, since subtargets range from bcm2708 to bcm2711, it seems
appropriate to use bcm27xx instead of bcm2708 (again, as already done
for BOARDNAME).
This also renames the packages brcm2708-userland and brcm2708-gpu-fw.

KERNEL_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES and KERNEL_POSIX_MQUEUE were
previously enabled by default only if KERNEL_LXC_MISC was selected.
KERNEL_LXC_MISC was enabled only if the SMALL_FLASH (anti-)feature
was not selected.
Now that KERNEL_LXC_MISC no longer exists, make sure that those
options are also only enabled by default for !SMALL_FLASH targets.

perf/core: Rename CONFIG_[UK]PROBE_EVENT to CONFIG_[UK]PROBE_EVENTS
We have uses of CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT and CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT as
well as CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS and CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS.
Consistently use the plurals.
So I'm adding this plural option in order to make kconfig happy and stop
asking about it if kernel is compiled with verbose logging:

When CGROUP block io is enabled a new symbol is exposed and needs to
be set or unset else kernel oldconfig hangs waiting for input during
normal OpenWrt builds. Therefore add sane defaults for this symbol
in that case. Also, the defaults brcm2708 are different than generic
defaults because the platform's defconfig enables BLK_DEV_THROTTLING
by default (in defconfig config from the patches used to match
upstream's kernel, not in OpenWrt config-4.xx).

Add a new config option to allow to select the default compile
optimization level for the kernel.
Select the optimization for size by default if the small_flash feature is
set. Otherwise "Optimize for performance" is set.
Add the small_flash feature flag to all (sub)targets which had the
optimization for size in their default kernel config.
Remove CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_* symbols from all kernel configs to apply the new
setting.
Exceptions to the above are:
- lantiq, where the optimization for size is only required for the
xway_legacy subtarget but was set for the whole target
- mediatek, ramips/mt7620 & ramips/mt76x8 where boards should have
plenty of space and an optimization for size doesn't make much sense
- rb532, which has 128MByte flash

These allow the generated kernel's build metadata to be defined explicitly.
This metadata is reported, eg, at boot time and in `uname -a` on running
systems. If the variables aren't configured, the current build system username
and hostname are used as normal.
The motivation for this option is to achive reproducible (bit-for-bit
identical) kernel builds of official openwrt releases.

Revision 46834 changed IPv6 support from a module to builtin. But
since the configuration of the IPv6 kernel options was left in
package/kernel/linux/modules/netsupport.mk, this means that an
empty kmod-ipv6 module was still being generated (not packaged).
This patch moves the configuration of the IPv6 kernel options to
config/Config-kernel.in to remove this last bit of the module.
Note that CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY was dropped (enabled by default
since Linux v3.13), so this option is no longer needed.

This is needed by many services to function properly and as
all modern distributions got it enabled, it starts to be a
de-facto standard, i.e. user-space starts to silently depend
on it.
This also pulls in EXPORTFS, however, the kernel binary size
increases only a little.
On ARM systems comes down to 800 bytes uncompressed and about
200 bytes compressed size.
On MIPS systems it's about 1.2 kB size increase of the LZMA
compressed kernel.
