Evgeniy Didin f0c84ac9cf configs/snps_arc*_defconfig: update linux version
With this commit we update Linux kernel version to 4.15 and
Linux headers version to 4.15.
Also patches for arc vdk are removed because these
changes were applied in Linux 4.15.

Synopsys VDK Software Development Platform

Intro
=====

The Virtualizer Development Kit (VDK) Family for ARM Cortex Products
consists of a set of virtual prototypes that provide a virtualizer for
the ARM core variants. The VDK is a standalone package that runs on an
host computer.

Buildroot will generate the kernel image and a minimal root filesystem.

How to build it
===============

Configure Buildroot
-------------------

Configuring Buildroot is pretty simple, just execute:

  $ make snps_aarch64_vdk_defconfig

Build the rootfs and kernel
---------------------------

Note: you will need to have access to the network, since Buildroot will
download the packages' sources.

You may now build your rootfs with:

  $ make

(This may take a while)

Result of the build
-------------------

After building, you should obtain this tree:

    output/images/
    -- rootfs.ext2
    -- Image

Installing your rootfs and Image
================================

Now copy the content of the output/images folder to the VDK' skins
folder:

   $ cp rootfs.ext2 Image <vdk_installation_path>/skins/Vanilla-Cortex/ARMv8


Starting the VDK
================================

Go the VDK' installation root and execute the 'start' script:

   $ cd <vdk_installation_path>
   $ ./start.sh

The VP Explorer application will be executed, starting the simulation
automatically.
