Linux kernel

[David Craven]

I reworked the patches for the linux-libre package and made some other
improvements that make customizing the linux-libre package easier. I
tested that everything builds and that there wasn't any breakage on
x86_64, but testing the arm kernel on real hardware is a wip. Is it
easier if I push a branch? They're 17 small patches.

86fb6ee gnu: Add linux-libre-beagle-bone-black.
70d7e6d gnu: Add linux-libre-multi-v7.
8073e6e gnu: make-linux-libre: Add supported-systems option.
6be1f44 gnu: linux-libre: Use kmod.
dd9be2e gnu: make-linux-libre: Add zImage to output.
c4772da gnu: linux-libre: Add extra-version option.
089b957 gnu: linux-libre: Add make-linux-libre-source.
5508f0d gnu: Add u-boot-beagle-bone-black.
db2fc94 gnu: dtc: Remove patch-paths phase.
01c8d0a gnu: linux-libre: Add additional-configuration to make-linux-libre.
9ccf388 gnu: linux-libre: Use make-linux-libre.
86126ae gnu: linux-libre: Add support for cross-compilation.
2ef150b gnu: linux-libre: Move kernel configuration to configure phase.
4737e87 gnu: linux-libre: Apply %boot-logo patch in origin.
c55b169 gnu: linux-libre: Use system->architecture.
c456362 gnu: linux-libre: Use modify-phases.
95fe35a gnu: module-init-tools: Prevent line wrapping.

The interesting parts are shown here:
