Eelco Dolstra 03b4efe9c8 * Use the kernel config generator for Linux 2.6.27.
* Move kernel patches out of all-packages.nix to
  os-specific/linux/kernel/patches.nix.
* Make the kernel config available under $out/config (it's also in
  $out/lib/modules/$version/build/.config, but that's kind of hard to
  find).

Eelco Dolstra 03e45e0cb4 * Added a script to generate the kernel configuration.
`generate-config.pl' runs `make config' to generate a Linux kernel
  configuration file.  For each question (i.e. kernel configuration
  option), unless an override is provided, it answers "m" if possible,
  and otherwise uses the default answer (as determined by the default
  config for the architecture).  This is safer than allmodconfig,
  which answers "y" everywhere it can't answer "m" and thus ends up
  enabling a lot of experimental or debug options.  (For this reason,
  a configuration generated by allmodconfig must be carefully checked
  with every new release to ensure that nothing dangerous is enabled.
  The default config should be safer wrt new kernel releases.)

  Overrides are specified in the `config' argument to generic.nix,
  which is a string that contains lines such as `EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL y'.
  The script warns about ignored options, and aborts if `make config'
  selects an answer inconsistent with the one in `config'.  This
  allows us to be sure that `make config' doesn't silently override
  our configuration values (e.g., depending on other options, it will
  set FB_TILEBLITTING to "y" even if we want it to be "n").

Eelco Dolstra 85479e92d1 * Linux 2.6.29.5.
* Build the PC speaker as a module.  This allows people who are
  annoyed by beeps (e.g. users of Dell Latitude D6xx laptops) to get
  rid of them :-)
