This is a useful read only filesystem for images that is efficient and
small as it supports compression.
For many use cases, when you are writing to media, it makes more sense than
using an initramfs as it does not require RAM, and it is more suitable for
disk media than ISO.

These drivers are for HPE SCSI cards and enabling them subsequently
enabled RAID_ATTRS and CHECK_SIGNATURE.
Only enabled for 4.9 and 4.12 kernels.

This enables per task (IO) accounting which is useful
for monitoring IO activity and the like.

Note, on x86_64 for 4.12.9 a new kernel option,
HARDLOCKUP_CHECK_TIMESTAMP was added which defaults to enabled. It enables
a low pass filter to compensate for perf based hard lockup detection.
Added this option to the x86_64 4.12.x kernel confog file.

This is a recommended security measure to protect the low portion
of virtual memory. On x86_64 the recommended value is 65536 while
for arm it shouldn't be higher than 32768.

The resulting kernel boots fine on qemu and on Cavium Thunder,
though the latter still has some issues.
