At least one kernel configuration generates an addition module that we
need to load for USB 3.0 support, so lets load it.

Somewhere in the mists of time we lost part of the multipath patch, so
we were bundling the userspace, but not the kernel modules, or ever
using it.

The old driver is problematic, as even with the pata_amd module loaded,
it will not release the device. Disable the old driver on remaining
platforms, add pata_amd where missing & needed (not alpha).

When using an integrated initramfs (including in kernel during build),
it's better NOT to compress the initramfs, as the kernel build process
will then be re-compressing it. This can provide space savings on disk
as well as potential time & memory savings (one less decompress pass is
needed before the kernel can use the initramfs).
This functionality was previously available in the undocumented
COMPRESS_INITRD variable.

Hello,
Due to the changes in glibc-2.14 busybox no longer compiles when NFS
support is enabled. This breaks genkernel. The following is a very
crude patch to just make things work on glibc-2.14 systems. A better
patch would be to detect glibc-2.14 and then make a config decision.
The best patch would be to port libtirpc to openssl, make busybox link
against libtirpc, restore NFS support, and put an end to this whole
mess. But in the meantime:

Disable NFS support to enable glibc-2.14 compatibility
Provide real boolean commandline options for options that were
previously only available as booleans in the config, so that they can be
enable in configuration and overridden to disable on the commandline.
Remove negation on options: NOINSTALL, NORAMDISKMODULES,
NO_KERNEL_SOURCES.
