Bjørn Forsman 68ce9e91e1 linux: really provide /proc/config.gz
Currently there is no /proc/config.gz, even though the configuration
indicates it. This fixes it.

Evgeny Egorochkin 339e1d94c6 Turning off PAE support which makes kernel unbootable on older hardware causes CRASH_DUMP option to
disappear, so make it optional.

Eelco Dolstra f155a35d7d Move kernelExtraConfig to common-config.nix (for x86)
It's bad to have the kernel config scattered across two places.  (This
should also be done for the other architectures.)

Also, restore Xen and KVM guest support in Linux 3.10.

This may prevent exploitation of buffer overflows.

Eelco Dolstra 7ce325f3e0 Unify the Linux kernel configurations
Having N different copies of the NixOS kernel configuration is bad
because these copies tend to diverge.  For instance, our 3.10 config
lacked some modules that were enabled in older configs, probably
because the 3.10 config had been copied off an earlier version of some
older kernel config.

So now there is a single kernel config in common-config.nix.  It has a
few conditionals to deal with new/removed kernel options, but
otherwise it's pretty straightforward.

Also, a lot of cut&paste boilerplate between the kernel Nix
expressions is gone (such as preConfigure).
