CONFIG_PACKET is a important feature to have.
The Packet protocol is used by applications which
communicate directly with network devices without
an intermediate network protocol implemented in
the kernel, e.g. tcpdump and ip.

This moves some new configuration options to the generic kernel
configuration instead of configuring them for each target on our own.

CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC allows it to add support for new executable formats
to the kernel from user space, the kernel will then detect for example a
java binary and call the java execution program automatically. I am not
aware that this feature is used in OpenWrt and this could be used to
exploit something. Deactivate it for all targets for now.

Some targets deactivated CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES, for unknown reasons, use
the default setting from the generic configuration which activates
CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES.
This should prevent SYN flooding.

We currently generate a kernel that boots from the harddrive
in the DIR-685. That's not how we usually do things, so
let's augment it to boot from flash and mount the rootfs
using squashfs and JFFS2 like everyone else.
Partition splitting only work when the partitions are
inside of a "partitions" node which is why we have a patch
like this (submitted upstream).
Another patch drops the rootfs arguments and renames the
firmware partition while adding the compatible "wrg"
to it so the WRGG parser will kick in.
Factory image was tested by bravely reflashing the DIR-685
from stock firmware using the web UI and the serial console
boot loader.
