Rolf Neugebauer fc72448ffd kernel: Add VMBus stability improvements
The four new patches prevent swamping VMBus with too many
notifications which, eventually, let Hyper-V assume there is
a DoS attempt and would thus throttle the VM for up to 5s.

The first three new patches were cherry-picked from upstream.
The final patch was received by email. Will update once it
has been submitted/accepted upstream.

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:
