Compaction is the only memory management component to form high order (larger
physically contiguous) memory blocks reliably. The page allocator relies on
compaction heavily and the lack of the feature can lead to unexpected OOM
killer invocations for high order memory requests. You shouldn't disable this
option unless there really is a strong reason for it.

In 4.14.57, a new symbol for Spectre v4 mitigation was introduced for
ARM64. Add this symbol to all ARM64 targets using kernel 4.14.
This mitigates CVE-2018-3639 on ARM64.

THIN_ARCHIVES option is enabled by default in the kernel configuration
and no one target config disables it. So enable it by default and remove
this symbol from target specific configs to keep them light.

New FUTEX_PI configuration symbol enabled if FUTEX and RT_MUTEX symbols
are enabled. Both of these symbols are enabled by default in the
generic config, so enable FUTEX_PI by default too to keep platform
specific configs minimal.

OVERLAY_FS config symbol selects EXPORTFS since 4.12 kernel, we have
OVERLAY_FS enabled by default, so enable EXPORTFS in the generic config
of 4.14 and remove this option from platform specific configs.

These options do not used by any supported arch, so disable them by
default to make arch configs a bit more clean.

Only one arch (x86_64) enables this option. So disable
ARCH_WANTS_THP_SWAP by default and remove referencies to it from all
configs (except x86_64) to make them clean.

You should not define CFLAGS for the toolchain as this will also leak
into other targets if they share the same toolchain.

The CN80XX Boot firmware uses an embedded FAT12 filesystem. For some reason
busybox can't mount this unless its enabled static in the kernel.

The Cavium OCTEON TX is an ARM 64-bit SoC leveraging CPU cores and
periperhals from the Cavium ThunderX SoC.
This initial support provides a 4.14 kernel and kernel+initramfs that is
bootable on the Gateworks Newport GW630x as well as the Cavium sff8104
reference board.
