301301da2b x86/64: enable AES-NI support in kernel
The kernel will detect if the host supports this, so we can just enable
it in the kernel config.

Tested on an APU2 with AES-NI support and a KVM VM on a Xeon E5520 host
without AES-NI support.

Throughput over an IPsec tunnel between these 2 hosts increased from
~63Mbps to ~140Mbps. Ciphers: AES_GCM_16_256/PRF_HMAC_SHA2_512/ECP_521.

1831e61699 x86/64: enable Hyper-V support in the x86_64 kernel config
Enabled Hyper-V network interface card driver, display adapter driver,
storage driver, keyboard driver, mouse driver and Hyper-V utility and
EFI boot support in the kernel for subtarget x86/64.
Convert the img file to vhd by Ubuntu qemu-img, rather than by the buildroot's
built-in qemu-img.

Tested on Windows Server 2008 r2 and 2012 r2 Gen1 and Gen2 VMs.

x86: add PATA support to generic and 64 subtargets
PATA support has been removed from x86-generic without any note in LEDE
r538. Not including them makes the generated images incompatible with older
(and some newer) hardware without any significant gain.

Add it back, and also add the same drivers (as far as available) to x86-64.

d1000f81a8 x86: 64: enable pci hotplug and acpipnp
This will allow dynamically adding/removing at least virtio-net pci
devices which are quite the norm in cloud environment with QEMU/KVM

    netdev_add bridge,id=wan2,br=br-wan,helper=/home/yousong/.usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper
    device_add virtio-net-pci,id=devwan2,netdev=wan2,mac=11:22:33:22:11:00

The config was formed by selecting target x86/64 first, then select
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI with

    make kernel_menuconfig CONFIG_TARGET=subtarget

The following text tries to explain how the current config was formed

 1. CONFIG_PCI_LABEL and CONFIG_ATA_PIIX were removed because they were
    already enabled in x86 platform config
 2. CONFIG_ATA_SFF was removed because it was enabled in generic config
 3. CONFIG_NLS was removed because it will be selected by CONFIG_PCI_LABEL

d3b21bb2bb x86: enable CPU frequency scaling
CPU frequency scaling enables the operating system to scale the CPU
frequency up or down in order to save power. CPU frequencies can be
scaled automatically depending on the system load, in response to ACPI
events, or manually by userspace programs.
