Hello All!

This series introduces infrastructure for packages to depend on the
required version of kernel headers.

It follows the proposal made on the list:
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2014-February/088924.html

The basic idea is to add a symbol for each kernel header version, and
have toolchains select the appropriate symbol, and packages depend on the
appropriate symbol.

In this series:

  - such symbols are added for all kernel headers >= 3.0;

  - the internal toochain backend selects the appropriate symbol, without
    user-visible changes for known kernel headers versions, and with a new
    choice for manually-specified kernel headers version;

  - the predefined external toolchains select the appropriate symbols
    without user-visible changes; those using kernel headers older than
    3.0, select nothing, and a comment is added to state so;

  - for the custom external toolchain, a new choice is shown to the
    user, to select the appropriate kernel headers version;

  - five packages are converted to take advantage of this.

For example:

  - BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BLACKFIN_UCLINUX_2012R1 selects
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_3_3

  - dvb-apps depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_3_3


Changes v1 -> v2:
  - typo and asciidoc syntax in the manual  (Samuel, Thomas DS)
  - add choice for custom kernel headers  (Arnout)
  - add check to strictly enforce selection  (Thomas, Arnout)
  - add help to choice  (Thomas DS)


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
