Rolf Neugebauer 4b02dc7ada kernel: update to 4.8.8
This removes all the patches which have been upstreamed since 4.4.x
and only leaves patches for a minor fix to AF_VSOCK, the Hyper-V socket patch
and a new patch for fixing delays on creating netns with tunnel interfaces.

The latter has been accecpted into the upstream netdev branch and will
likely appear in 4.9.0 and we can cherry pick from there then.

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:
