Many Atom-based embedded/industrial x86 boards can't run 64bit operating
systems due to either processor or board firmware limitations, but they
have modern interfaces (PCIe) or have modern Intel gigabit controllers
onboard. With the current default package selection for x86 Generic
target their network won't work.
Add the modern gigabit network modules needed or most likely going to be
used as add-in cards, similar to what is the list on x86_64 target.

This adds initial support for kernel 4.19 to the x86 target.
The patches and the kernel configurations were copied from kernel 4.14
and then refreshed.
The legacy and the genode target will not support PAE any more because
they use a CPU type which does not support PAE, the generic sub target
still supports PAE.

This refreshes the kernel configuration for kernel 4.14.
First this was run for the legacy target:
make kernel_oldconfig
Then for all targets including the legacy target this was run:
make kernel_oldconfig CONFIG_TARGET=subtarget
The option CONFIG_104_QUAD_8 was added to the generic configuration
because it would have been automatically removed.

This makes it possible to use different sub target configurations for
kernel 4.19 for example.
To support kernel 4.9 and kernel 4.14 with the same configuration file
already needed some extra work this will not be needed for kernel 4.19
any more.

Compaction is the only memory management component to form high order (larger
physically contiguous) memory blocks reliably. The page allocator relies on
compaction heavily and the lack of the feature can lead to unexpected OOM
killer invocations for high order memory requests. You shouldn't disable this
option unless there really is a strong reason for it.

While working on a new target (meson), the kernel build failed due to
missing DRM_DEBUG_MM_SELFTEST symbol. This can potentially happen on all
targets that enable DRM drivers in the kernel config or via kmod
packages, so add it to the generic config and remove it from x86
subtarget configs, together with DRM_DEBUG_MM.

The Xen serial console has been broken since the xen_domu subtarget
was merged in the generic x86 subtarget (commits 1d6879ee and 371b382a).
The reason for the broken serial console seems to be an IRQ conflict
between the serial console driver and the PATA_LEGACY driver:
[ 1.330125] genirq: Flags mismatch irq 8. 00000000 (hvc_console) vs. 00000000 (platform[pata_legacy.4])
[ 1.330134] hvc_open: request_irq failed with rc -16.
[ 1.330148] Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Just drop the PATA_LEGACY driver from the x86/generic and x86_64
subtargets, since this driver is marked experimental and only supports
very old ISA devices anyway. It is still included in the x86/legacy
subtarget where it rightfully belongs.

All x86 subtargets enable USB support, so it makes sense to enable it
in the target config instead, to avoid duplication.
Also refresh subtarget configs accordingly.
Signed-off-by: Baptiste Jonglez <git@bitsofnetworks.org>
This was done by simply running `make kernel_menuconfig CONFIG_TARGET=subtarget`
and then saving without changing any option.
Most of the removed options can be explained because they are already
present in the target config or in the generic 4.9 config:
- PAE-related options, enabled by default on x86 by 961c0eac
- LZO-related options, enabled by default since 4.9
As far as I understand the build system, this shouldn't have any
user-visible impact, because the build system already merges the
various kernel configs during build.

PATA support has been removed from x86-generic without any note in LEDE
