Justin Cormack 4996ec700c Backport transparent binfmt_misc to 4.4
As we released this in the beta channel, and it is a nice feature that our users love,
backporting this to 4.4 so we don't have to revert it or conditionally behave differently.

This is upstream Linux commits
- 9a08c352d05305ca7651540c3b107da1e4e1f40b fs: add filp_clone_open API
- 948b701a607f123df92ed29084413e5dd8cda2ed binfmt_misc: add persistent opened binary handler for containers

Temporary non modular kernel config for pinata alpha

TODO: build with Alpine and/or use Alpine kernels - needs some patches.

The build is mostly silent. To view the output use docker log -f <containerid>. The build creates multiple containers, so multiple invocations may be necessary. To view the full build output one may also invoke docker build . and then copy the build artefacts from the image afterwards.

To build with various debug options enabled, build the kernel with make DEBUG=1. The options enabled are listed in kernel_config.debug. This allocates a significant amount of memory on boot and you may need to adjust the kernel config on some systems. Specifically:
