These targets allow the user to customize the configuration of the
Linux kernel. After changing the kernel configuration, the next time
the user runs "make", the kernel is rebuilt to take into account the
new configuration (not rebuilt from scratch).

We only adjust the configuration or ARM EABI and IPv6. The (more
complicated) initramfs case is handled in a separate commit. The user
is expected to take care of all other configuration details (like
having Netfilter enabled to make iptables work, etc.)

In order to not depend on module init tools being installed on the
development environment of the Buildroot user, let's build module init
tools for the host.

This patch introduces a single, simple, infrastructure to build the
Linux kernel. The configuration is limited to :
* Kernel version: a fixed recent stable version, same as kernel
headers version (for internal toolchains only), custom stable
version, or custom tarball URL
* Kernel patch: either a local file, directory or an URL
* Kernel configuration: either the name of a defconfig or the
location of a custom configuration file
* Kernel image: either uImage, bzImage, zImage or vmlinux.
