- rediffed most of patches, renamed files to easify further rediffs by git format-patch
- thanks to abf.io/kernels_stable for some patches for kernel 5.9
- using unofficial patch for AUFS for kernel 5.10, there may be issues with stability, try to avoid using AUFS (I would have dropped it, but MagOS wants it very much)
- pulled updates of AltHa from http://git.altlinux.org/gears/k/kernel-image-un-def.git?p=kernel-image-un-def.git;a=history;f=security/altha;hb=HEAD
- dropped patch adding sysctl to disable disk-based swap because it has not found any usage
- bpf is now in the list of LSM modules (ability to write LSM modules as BPF programs), enable it, it is potentially useful and does not seem to be harmful
- keeping kernel libc headers in older kernels for now
- dropped building external virtualbox guest modules because they are now included into the mainline kernel
- offed building VirtualBox host modules, I do not know how to keep these binary modules in sync with userspace part of VirtualBox, users can continue using dkms
- offed building kernel-shredder because it is not buildable on kernel 5.10
- updated rtl8821ce and added a dependency from its "blacklist" subpackage here (see https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce/commit/14b536f0)
It is not clear if kernel 5.10 will receive an LTS support longer than 5.4 or not. Support until Dec, 2022 is declared right now at https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html for 5.10 and until Dec, 2025 - for 5.4.
TODO: update kernel configs
TODO: solve problems with version of virtualbox host modules not matching version of the virtualbox package after virtualbox is updated but kernel is not rebuilt
AUFS was updated to "4.20.4+-20190211" in the process.
As for the sorted entries in the config files - this helps a lot during
rebases to the newer stable kernel branches.

Besides the upstream update, I have disabled building of nrj-laptop
kernels here.
Now that the main kernels used in ROSA are based on the sources from
Ubuntu, the stable-based kernels like this one are mostly intended for
debugging. No need to build nrj-laptop flavour each time. Let us make
things a bit easier for other ABF users at least.

Among other things:
* BFQ was updated to v8r7 for 4.9.0
* AUFS was updated to version 4.9-20161219
* inotify-increase-max-user-watches.patch was dropped: it is better to
tune such things from user space instead.
The kernel was updated to version 4.2.3.
3rd party additions (ndiswrapper) have been dropped.
The fixes for e1000e and mt7601u have been added as well, see
"kernel-patches-and-configs" project, branch v4.2.x.
Most external components have been removed to simplify maintenance.
The following ones are kept because they are more important and/or
maintained well in upstream:
- BFQ
- AUFS
- ndiswrapper
- several bug fixes
reiser4 is kept too but disabled by default until its maintainers update
it for kernel 4.x.
