Updated to 4.10.x (4.10.4 atm), the first take

While at it, made the configs a bit closer to those from Ubuntu:
* disabled IDE drivers which are now barely maintained anyway;
* disabled some debugging facilities (verboseness of some drivers,
  etc.);
* made some often used modules like vfat, fuse, ata_piix, etc.,
  built-in.
* and so forth.

 CHANGELOG
 
+BFQ v8r8
+
+. BUGFIX: Removed a wrong compilation warning, due to the compiler
+  not taking into account short circuit in a condition.
+
+. BUGIFX: Added several forgotten static qualifiers in function
+  definitions (completely harmless issue).
+
+. BUGFIX: Put async queues on exit also without cgroups
+
+. BUGFIX: The putting of async queues on scheduler exit was missing in case
+  cgroups support was not active. This fix adds the missing operation.
+
+. BUGFIX: In the peak-rate estimator, there was a serious error in the
+  check that the percentage of sequential I/O-request dispatches was high
+  enough to trigger an update of the peak-rate estimate. This commit fixes
+  that check.
+
+. IMPROVEMENT Luca Miccio has run a few responsiveness tests on recent
+  Android systems with average-speed storage devices. These tests have
+  shown that the following BFQ parameter was too low for these
+  systems: reference duration for slow storage devices of weight
+  raising for interactive applications. This commit raises that
+  duration to a value that is yelding optimal results in our
+  tests. Contributed by Luca Miccio.
+
+. IMPROVEMENT This commit anticipates the complete check of budget
+  exhaustion, for the in-service bfq_queue, to when the next bfq_queue
+  to serve is selected (during a dispatch operation). This enables a
+  new bfq_queue to be immediately selected for service in case the
+  in-service bfq_queue has actually exhausted its budget. As a
+  consequence, a second dispatch invocation is not needed any more, to
+  have a new request dispatched.  To implement this improvement, this
+  commit implements a further improvement too: the field next_rq of a
+  bfq_queue now always contains the actual next request to dispatch
+  (or NULL if the bfq_queue is empty).
+
+. BUGFIX Make bfq_bic_update_cgroup() return nothing if
+  CONFIG_BFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is disabled, as it happens if this option
+  is enabled. Contributed by Oleksandr Natalenko.
+
 BFQ v8r7

-Subject: [PATCH] printk: add Kconfig option to set default console loglevel
-
-Add a configuration option to set the default console loglevel.  This
-is, as before, still possible to override at runtime through bootargs
-(loglevel=<x>), sysrq and /proc/printk.
-
-There are cases where adding additional arguments on the commandline is
-impractical, and changing the default for the kernel when being built
-makes more sense.  Provide such a method here, for those who choose to
-do so.
-
-Also, while touching this code, clarify the difference between
-MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT and CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT.
