WiP: unify 6.1.8 kernel config changes with librems, modify modules/l…

…inux helper

librems vs mainline have:
- mei module not compiled in

- Streamline modules/linux Makefile helpers so that one asks on console for new Kconfig options to be y/n, another one to do olddefconfig (accept new defaults)
  - Exercice proves again that oldconfig exposes new things added into kernel by default as opposed to defconfig format.
- Add TCP Syn cookies to librems common (all boards add CDC tethering AFAIK. Add this protection by default)
- Remove unneeded network card drivers from librems common and unify
- Remove unneeded microsoft surface drivers from librems common and unify
- Remove WMI embedded Binary MOF driver CONFIG_WMI_BMOF
- Unify removed Kconfig options from x230 ported to 6.1.8 to librems common
- Verify qemu (AMD) changes working (note, there is clock source watchdog that would need to be investigated seperately for QEMU TCG mode, that is, not KVM)
- Review crypto backend requirements/unify once more
- Removed bunch of unused stuff under QEMU Q35 (AMD)

Q/A:
- CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_NONE vs CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL? CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_NONE now.
- CONFIG_LDISC_AUTOLOAD=y?
- CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK_OPTIONAL=y?
- CONFIG_X86_THERMAL_VECTOR=y?
- ACPI-WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) mapper device (PNP0C14) enabled by ACPI_VIDEO and depended by DRM drivers.
  - ACPI_VIDEO seems needed.
- CONFIG_INPUT_VIVALDIFMAP=y anabled by CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD (AT/PS2 Keyboard)
