It will be used by the upcoming HID-over-i2C implementation. Should be
no-op, except hid.ko module dependency is to be added to affected drivers.

Many arm kernel configs bogusly specified WERROR=-Werror. There's no
reason for this because the default is that and there's no reason to
override. These date from a time when we needed to add additional
warning->error suppression. They are obsolete and were cut and paste
propagated from file to file.
Comment out all the WERROR=.... lines in powerpc. They aren't bogus,
but were appropriate for the old defaults for gcc4.2.1. Now that we've
made the policy decision to suppress -Werror by default on these
platforms, it is appropriate to comment these out. People wishing to
fix these errors can still un-comment them out, or say WERROR=-Werror
on the command line.
Fix two instances (cut and paste propagation) of hard-coded -Werror
in x86 code. Replace with ${WERROR} instead. This is a no-op change
except for people who build WERROR=-Wno-error :).
This should fix tinderbox / CI breakage.
NANDFS has been broken for years. Remove it. The NAND drivers that
remain are for ancient parts that are no longer relevant. They are
polled, have terrible performance and just for ancient arm
hardware. NAND parts have evolved significantly from this early work
and little to none of it would be relevant should someone need to
update to support raw nand. This code has been off by default for
years and has violated the vnode protocol leading to panics since it
was committed.

Transition all boards that support arm cortex CPUs to armv7. This
leaves two armv6 kernels in the tree. RPI-B, which uses the BCM2835
which has a ARM1176 core, and VERSATILEPB, which is a qemu board setup
around the time RPI-B went in. Copy std.armv6 to std.armv7, even
though that duplicates a lot of stuff. More work needs to be done to
sort out the duplication.

All armv6 processors are plenty fast enough for HZ=1000.
No changes are made for older arm systems, because some chips are a bit
wimpy for 1000 while others do fine, so it has to be set on a per-config
basis.
BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER if they have a serial console (most do). A burst of
serial line noise (such as unplugging a usb serial adapter) can look like
a break and drop a working system into the debugger. The alt break sequence
(<CR>~^B) works fine on both serial and non-serial consoles.
each of the existing kernel configs. This gives a place to put config
that applies to the entire arch.
Add the ARM_NEW_PMAP option to std.armv6. This is working well in early
testing and it's time for wide exposure, but it's still nice to be able
to fall back to the old implementation for testing when a problem comes
along. Eventually the option and the old implementation will go away.
The opportunity now exists to move a whole lot of boilerplate from all the
arm kernel config files into std.arm*, but that's a commit for another day.
These are left over from long ago when there was no way to load modules
on early armv6 platforms, and when there was a build problem with ahc
that has long since been fixed, and they just keep getting copy-pasted
into new configs.
#NO_UNIVERSE. Many of these config files are important examples, but
add little to no regresive value to the intended purpose of
UNIVERSE. We now build over 120 kernels during universe. There's
really little to no value to this over building say 60 or even 30 of
them (either is still a way too big number). This is especially true
for kernels that are nothing more than including a common base and
adding a static DTB file. Start by pruning 1/3 of the arm kernels that
add little regresion value.
