Michael Raskin 2d062ba772 Allow override options being required in kernel configuration.. Otherwise modifying significantly config via extraConfig becomes practically impossible.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell c86da889cc Made the kernel generate-config "build as modules as you can" an option.
Sepcifically, a nixpkgs "platform" option. So, for PC all remained the same
as it was.

Eelco Dolstra e04beb262e * Strangely, running "make defconfig" before the generator causes
"make config" to print an additional question that the script
  doesn't know how to answer ("Audio Excel DSP 16 [N/y] (NEW) ###").
  Just ignore it.

Eelco Dolstra c3e80cbc9f * Get User-Mode Linux to build with a newer kernel. Yes, SHELL really
has to be "/bin/sh" - other values such as "sh" or "bash" or "$(type
  -tP sh)" cause a build error:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
  /nix/store/1yv8i1m76cvwk5w5i5wrk4gj5zyfj6vh-binutils-2.19.1/bin/ld:arch/um/kernel/vmlinux.lds:1: ignoring invalid character `#' in expression
  /nix/store/1yv8i1m76cvwk5w5i5wrk4gj5zyfj6vh-binutils-2.19.1/bin/ld:arch/um/kernel/vmlinux.lds:1: syntax error
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

  This is caused by Bash 4.0
  (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13343).

Eelco Dolstra 15c6ede144 * Allow options to be ignored if they don't exist by marking them with
a "?".

Eelco Dolstra 03e45e0cb4 * Added a script to generate the kernel configuration.
`generate-config.pl' runs `make config' to generate a Linux kernel
  configuration file.  For each question (i.e. kernel configuration
  option), unless an override is provided, it answers "m" if possible,
  and otherwise uses the default answer (as determined by the default
  config for the architecture).  This is safer than allmodconfig,
  which answers "y" everywhere it can't answer "m" and thus ends up
  enabling a lot of experimental or debug options.  (For this reason,
  a configuration generated by allmodconfig must be carefully checked
  with every new release to ensure that nothing dangerous is enabled.
  The default config should be safer wrt new kernel releases.)

  Overrides are specified in the `config' argument to generic.nix,
  which is a string that contains lines such as `EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL y'.
  The script warns about ignored options, and aborts if `make config'
  selects an answer inconsistent with the one in `config'.  This
  allows us to be sure that `make config' doesn't silently override
  our configuration values (e.g., depending on other options, it will
  set FB_TILEBLITTING to "y" even if we want it to be "n").
