5aa70d283f x86/alix2: switch to 3.10.9
Taken from the 'alix2: update to LINUX_VERSION 3.10.9'
patch: http://patchwork.openwrt.org/patch/3971/.

Russell says in the original patch:

"Initial whack at updating alix2 to a current kernel. It builds
and runs without problems so far. I copied target/linux/config-3.8,
target/linux/x86/alix2/config-3.8, and target/linux/patches-3.8 to
their 3.10 equivalents and tweaked until it built.  The patches
required no changes."

09f4018b2e x86: Fix CONFIG_X86_GRUB_SERIAL=""
With

    .config:CONFIG_X86_GRUB_SERIAL=""

which (AFAICT) is the way to tell GRUB not to use a serial console, in

    target/linux/x86/image/Makefile:ifneq ($(CONFIG_X86_GRUB_SERIAL),)

$(CONFIG_X86_GRUB_SERIAL) expands to `""' (a literal double double-quote),
making the condition unconditionally false.

This patch fixes the situation by passing CONFIG_X86_GRUB_SERIAL through
qstrip before testing.

f0b5e7d419 x86: change /dev/console to tty to fix job control
Job control is turned off because it cannot obtain controlling terminal on
/dev/console, so it is impossible to do any job control operation behind
real x86 device (keyboard+monitor or virtualized).

This patch switches /dev/console to tty devices for ash on x86 generic target.

6a4f2922f6 targets: prepare for supporting normal and initramfs images
In order to support both normal images and initramfs, ensure that each
target sets KERNELNAME properly so that the generic kernel building code
can copy the corresponding files over $(KDIR) with the appropriate
extension. Update the various paths to the kernel and wrapper images
from $(LINUX_DIR)/arch/$(ARCH)/boot/$(foo) to $(KDIR)/$(foo).

c8a0166212 Fix hard reset of alix/soekris hardware under heavy NIC load
The following patch corrects a hard reset that occurs on alix and
soekris net5501 hardware. Specifically, this is an issue with the via
rhine NIC driver. Under periods of extreme load, the via rhine driver
can cause a reset of the entire system. When this happens no output is
seen on the console, the device simply reboots. This was reported in the
following ticket:

Consistent crash on Soekris NET5501
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/11882

I was able to reproduce the problem locally with numerous alix 2d13
platforms. Under heavy 64 byte frame size load from a Smartbits traffic
generator, the alix hardware will hard reset in under 5 minutes. The
same hardware, under the same load, on FreeBSD 9.0 does not reset.

The patch below backports most of the via rhine changes from kernel 3.5.
With OpenWrt trunk being on kernel 3.3.8, it seemed prudent to bring
these changes in to avoid this serious issue.

I've tested this heavily in my test environment and was able to keep the
device stable under load for extended periods of time without any resets.

Also, a nice side effect of this change is that it significantly raises
the performance the platform. Without this patch the alix 2d13 can move
approximately 29,000 packets per second at 64 byte frame sizes. After
this patch the alix can move 52,000 packets per second at 64 byte frame
sizes.

I put this patch under the x86 patches as those are the only platforms
with via rhine hardware that I'm aware of. If it needs to go some place
else please let me know.

Thanks,
Adam
