This will reduce the size of the kernel if CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is
set like for all targets with small_flash feature flag.
I haven't seen any changes for an ARM64 target which optimizes the
kernel for speed instead.
On the ath79/tiny target the uncompressed kernel size was reduced by
3.2% and the compressed kernel size by 2.1%

Kernel 4.19.47 added a new kernel config symbol ARM64_ERRATUM_1463225.
This causes a build failure for sunxi/cortexa53. Add the symbol to the
generic config to fix this, and avoid future build failures on other
arm64 targets that expose this symbol. As the erratum only affects
Cortex-A76 cores, we can safely disable it.

This removes support for executing old 32 bit applications on 64 bit ARM
and MIPS kernels.
On OpenWrt we normally compile all the user space applications on our
own and do not support third party binary only modules especial not 32
bit applications on 64 bit CPUs.
This reduces the attack surface on such systems and should also save
some memory.

We have uses of CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT and CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT as
well as CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS and CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS.

Enable the built-in BPF JIT compiler for all 4.9, 4.14 and 4.19 kernels,
which should speed up cBPF and eBPF-based packet filtering (tc, iptables)
and packet sniffing (libpcap, tcpdump, fwknopd, etc).
This has minimal kernel size impact, increasing the size of uImage-lzma
(normally ~2 MB on mips_24kc or mips64el_mips64) by 5 KB for the MIPS32
arch cBPF JIT and by 9 KB for the MIPS64 arch eBPF JIT, on kernel 4.14.
With JIT enabled (cBPF only), the standard BPF test module (test_bpf.ko)
running on a DIR-835 (mips_24kc) used 33 CPU seconds, but 68 without JIT.
This change aligns with the notion of OpenWRT as the network go-to swiss
army knife for packet handling, especially on CPU-constrained platforms.

In mainline kernel commit 02c7b25e5f5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: build-in
filter chain type") all chain filters were merged into one file and into
one kernel module to save some memory. The code protected by these
configuration options CONFIG_NF_TABLES_BRIDGE, CONFIG_NF_TABLES_IPV4,
CONFIG_NF_TABLES_ARP, CONFIG_NF_TABLES_IPV6, CONFIG_NF_TABLES_NETDEV and
CONFIG_NF_TABLES_INET was merged into the nft_chain_filter.c file which
is now always compiled into the nf_tables.ko file.
This only happened in kernel 4.19 and OpenWrt has to select these as
modules in older kennel versions. Mark them as build-in in the kernel
4.19 specific kernel configuration file which will then not be
overwritten by the package specific settings which try to make them
modular again.

to bool and the code will not be compiled as a own module any more, but
it will be integrated into nf_nat_ipv4.ko or nf_nat_ipv6.ko to save some
memory.
Activate these options as bool in the generic kernel 4.19 configuration
only, to always build them into the nf_nat_ipv*.ko modules. The kmod
file will still try to select them as module, but the generic
configuration will not be overwritten.

This makes the patches which were just copied in the previous commit
apply on top of kernel 4.19.
The patches in the backports-4.19 folder were checked if they are really
in kernel 4.19 based on the title and only removed if they were found in
the upstream kernel.
The following additional patches form the pending folder went into
upstream Linux 4.19:
pending-4.19/171-usb-dwc2-Fix-inefficient-copy-of-unaligned-buffers.patch
pending-4.19/190-2-5-e1000e-Fix-wrong-comment-related-to-link-detection.patch

pending-4.19/950-tty-serial-exar-generalize-rs485-setup.patch
pending-4.19/340-MIPS-mm-remove-mips_dma_mapping_error.patch
Bigger changes were introduced to the m25p80 spi nor driver, as far as I
saw it in the new code, it now has the functionality provided in this
patch:
pending-4.19/450-mtd-m25p80-allow-fallback-from-spi_flash_read-to-reg.patch
Part of this patch went upstream independent of OpenWrt:
hack-4.19/220-gc_sections.patch
This patch was reworked to match the changes done upstream.
The MIPS DMA API changed a lot, this patch was rewritten to match the
new DMA handling:
pending-4.19/341-MIPS-mm-remove-no-op-dma_map_ops-where-possible.patch
I did bigger manual changes to the following patches and I am not 100% sure if they are all correct:
