[Buildroot] [pull request] Pull request for branch linux-cleanup

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>]

Hello,

Here is a set of 10 patches that completely rewrites the Linux kernel
compilation process in Buildroot. It is supposed to be applied on top
of the bootloaders-cleanup branch I've sent yesterday.

I've fairly drastically reduced the number of options to configure the
kernel, and particulary removed the horrible mess of version
selection. See the first commit in this branch for what remains in
terms of configuration options for the kernel. As I've removed quite a
few things, I'm interested to know how you're using Buildroot to build
your kernel, and whether this proposal still matches your use cases.

Peter: for me, this patch set is ready for inclusion, unless there are
comments, of course.

Thomas
