There is no reason to always depend on host-lzop, even when the kernel
compression is not LZO.
Since LZO is not the default compression option in the kernel (and there
is not sign that will change in the foreseeable future), it will always
appear in a config file, whether it is a complete config file or it is
only a defconfig.
So, only depend on host-lzop if the LZO compression is enabled in the
kernel config file (either the defconfig or the custom config file).
This includes:
- kernel compression itself
- initrd compression
- initramfs compression

This patch bumps systemd to v207 but also declares it as a provider for the
udev virtual package.
Starting with systemd 183, udev has been merged into
systemd. The udev daemon is now installed as /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd.
This means that /dev management using udev is only available if systemd
is chosen as init system.
When configuring systemd, the following options are available:
- activation of systemd-journal-gatewayd, to access the journal via
HTTP.
- activation of extra features like journal compression and sealing.
Support for uClibc has also been removed because:
- upstream has no interest in supporting uClibc.
- using a shrinked libc brings no advantage, given the size of all the
programs included in Systemd. So using glibc does not matter.

When one enables the generation of a cpio archive of the root
filesystem, the most likely usage is as an initramfs for the
kernel. This commit ensures that the kernel has initramfs support when
the rootfs cpio image format is chosen.
This will for example ensure that if the user selects the ISO9660
filesystem format (which uses a cpio initramfs), the kernel will have
proper support to load and use the initramfs.
It is worth mentionning that when BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS is
enabled, then BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO is always enabled. That's why we
move the enabling of CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD from the initramfs case to
the cpio case.

When a package A depends on config option B and toolchain option C, then
the comment that is given when C is not fulfilled should also depend on B.
For example:
config BR2_PACKAGE_A
depends on BR2_B
depends on BR2_LARGEFILE
depends on BR2_WCHAR
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR
This comment should actually be:
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on BR2_B
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR
or if possible (typically when B is a package config option declared in that
same Config.in file):
if BR2_B
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR
[other config options depending on B]
endif
Otherwise, the comment would be visible even though the other dependencies
are not met.
This patch adds such missing dependencies, and changes existing such
dependencies from
depends on BR2_BASE_DEP && !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC
to
depends on BR2_BASE_DEP
depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC
so that (positive) base dependencies are separate from the (negative)
toolchain dependencies. This strategy makes it easier to write such comments
(because one can simply copy the base dependency from the actual package
config option), but also avoids complex and long boolean expressions.

Initramfs compression does not make much sense for the architectures
that support compressed kernel images because in this case the data
would be compressed twice. This will eventually result in a bigger
kernel image and time overhead when uncompressing it.
The only reason to use compressed initramfs is to reduce memory
usage when the kernel prepares rootfs, and both the unpacked
filesystem and initramfs.cpio are present in the memory.
Buildroot attempts to force GZIP compression for initramfs,
however it doesn't always work because initramfs compression mode
depends on RAM disk compression supported by the kernel.
Thus, CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP depends on CONFIG_RD_GZIP.
If CONFIG_RD_GZIP is not set, setting GZIP initramfs compression
will have no effect.
Besides, the kernel also supports other compression methods,
like BZIP2, LZMA, XZ and LZO. Forcing the good old GZIP does not
really make much sense any more.
This removes initramfs compression settings from Buildroot,
so that the default value preset in the kernel config is used,
which is CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE.
If initramfs compression is still needed, it can be set
in the kernel config (using make linux-menuconfig)

more logical to apply them first, and *then* allow the user to apply
some platform/board specific patches if needed.

[Fixes by Thomas, including comments from Arnout:
* Use AUTOTARGETS instead of GENTARGETS
* Use $(KERNEL_ARCH) instead of $(BR2_ARCH) as argument to the
prepare-kernel.sh script. This allows the arch name to be fixed
with the usual sed expressions and the quotes to be stripped.
* Add the --verbose option to prepare-kernel.sh. This allows to get
some clear error message when no Xenomai patch has been found for
the current kernel version.
* Improve the help texts as suggested by Arnout, and remove the
now useless README file.
* Add a BR2_PACKAGE_XENOMAI_SMP option, instead of poking inside the
kernel configuration to find out whether SMP is enabled or
not. This cannot work because: 1) the kernel might be built
outside of Buildroot and 2) if the kernel is built inside
Buildroot, it is built *after* Xenomai, so the kernel
configuration file is typically not yet present.
* Simplify the ARM subarchitecture selection as suggested by Arnout.
* Remove the documentation and development files according to
Buildroot standards (using BR2_HAVE_DOCUMENTATION and
BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES).
* Simplify the /etc/ld.so.conf modification logic.

Add a kernel sub-menu (called "Linux Kernel Extensions"), which makes
possible to patch it or tweak the kernel build step.
* All linux/linux-ext-*.mk files will be read by the make process.
* The menu can be customized in "linux/Config.ext.in".

The name "patch-kernel.sh" is a bit stupid, since this script is used
to patch everything in Buildroot, not only kernel trees.

Move fw_printenv / fw_setenv options from the uboot bootloader build to
the uboot-mkimage package, and rename it to uboot-tools.

The assumption that all kernels are in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ is no longer true:
versions 3.x are in separate directories.
We now compute the directory name from the major and minor versions of
the version provided by the user. This assumes that the 3.1 version
will be in a /v3.1/ directory, which we don't know yet because the 3.1
cycle hasn't started yet.
At the same time, we add support for the official -rcX versions.
Patch tested by compiling 3.0-rc6, which Buildroot has successfully
downloaded and built.

As the kernel and bootloaders do not use the normal BR2_PACKAGE_*
Kconfig options, their target name was not automatically added to the
global TARGETS variable. Each bootloader .mk and the linux.mk had to
add their own target manually to TARGETS, and the package
infrastructure was making tests on non-existing Kconfig variables.
This commit improves the package infrastructure so that it looks at
BR2_PACKAGE_<pkg> for packages, BR2_TARGET_<pkg> for bootloaders and
at the special BR2_LINUX_KERNEL for the linux package.
This allows to simplify a little bit the bootloaders and linux .mk
files.
