kernel: generic: Add kernel 4.14 support
This adds initial support for kernel 4.14 based on the patches for kernel 4.9. In the configuration I deactivated some of the new possible security features like: CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM And these overlay FS options are also deactivated: CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_INDEX CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_DIR I activated this: CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED I am not sure if I did the porting correct for the following patches: target/linux/generic/backport-4.14/020-backport_netfilter_rtcache.patch target/linux/generic/hack-4.14/220-gc_sections.patch target/linux/generic/hack-4.14/321-powerpc_crtsavres_prereq.patch target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/305-mips_module_reloc.patch target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/611-netfilter_match_bypass_default_table.patch target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/680-NET-skip-GRO-for-foreign-MAC-addresses.patch Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>

+Subject: misc: owl-loader for delayed Atheros ath9k fixup
+
+Some devices (like the Cisco Meraki Z1 Cloud Managed Teleworker Gateway)
+need to be able to initialize the PCIe wifi device. Normally, this is done
+during the early stages of booting linux, because the necessary init code
+is read from the memory mapped SPI and passed to pci_enable_ath9k_fixup.
+However,this isn't possible for devices which have the init code for the
+Atheros chip stored on NAND in an UBI volume. Hence, this module can be
+used to initialze the chip when the user-space is ready to extract the
+init code.
