Commit ba92d6ef68 made hard float the
default when Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9. The problem it was trying to fix
is that the newer Linaro toolchains (2012.05 and 2012.06) are
hard-float, so the default selection of soft-float enabled on ARM
doesn't work for those toolchains.
Unfortunately, not selecting soft-float causes problems with
the Crosstool-NG backend at the moment.
As an intermediate solution, make the soft float option disappear when
using external toolchain: the toolchain will decide by itself whether
to generate hard float or soft float code.

This patch adds support for the ARM-only appended device tree
mechanism present in the kernel.
This option allows to add at the end of the kernel image the
device tree blob so that we can still boot device tree enabled
kernels with old bootloaders.
This patch also adds the needed logic to genereate such an image
when building zImages or uImages, also adding the necessary parts
to rebuild the uImage.

This patch introduces the BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE boolean to
factorize more code that will be shared in the next patches that
introduces other uImage-like targets.

This patch introduces some support for device tree-enabled kernels.
It replaces the former BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTS_FILE option that was
microblaze-only, that was quite limited. This option was quite
limited, first obviously because it was restricted to microblaze,
but also because it targetted only external device tree source files,
and allowed only to build simpleImages using the custom image name
mechanism.
This patch adds a much more generic one, that can work on basically
every architecture that supports device tree. It allows to build
both device tree source file that comes with the kernel source or to
set the path to the device tree file to use so that one can use a
custom device tree.

This is way too specific to microblaze-only. Remove this support to
introduce a more generic way to do support device tree kernels.
This reverts commit aaed42d156.

Now that most packages have been converted over to package
infrastructures, keep only one column to show the package
infrastructures.
A new column, showing of the package has license information, has been
added. This will help in increasing the number of packages having
license metadata.

Instead of having two separate list of choices for select the target
architecture variant for i386 and x86_64, with many CPU choices
duplicated (because all modern x86 CPUs can be both used as i386 or
x86_64), merge them into a single list. In the x86_64 case, all the
x86 CPUs that do not support the 64 bits instruction set are hidden.

[thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com:
- add dependencies on the supported architectures to avoid build
failures on ARM and other unsupported arches
- add a patch that removes an useless warning about the kernel
version. This patch is present upstream. However since it modifies
configure.ac, we need to autoreconf the package.]

Since we have now two uncompatible init systems, and we want only one of
them at the same time in use in the rootfs, we need to select a
particular init system. This patch also adds $(PKG)_INSTALL_INIT_SYSTEMD
and $(PKG)_INSTALL_INIT_SYSV hooks that are called when the matching
init systems are selected to install properly the init scripts of the
package.
