Update Linux kernel configuration & patches

This updates the Linux kernel configuration, removing irrelevant
networking-related components, and switching framebuffer drivers to
the DRM-based ones. With this, we can finally bootstrap on systems
with newer NVIDIA cards, which would green screen with the nvidiafb
driver.

KVM is still disabled, see #443 - VIRTUALIZATION is also disabled,
as it's useless without KVM or any other suboption being enabled.

Additionally, we can now drop the bad-asm patch, since our newer
binutils has no problem supporting that syntax, and it doesn't look
quite innocuous to me, removing an offset from a memory access.

The kernel is now built in 2 stages: first, we build vmlinux only,
then, after cleaning up any intermediate .o files (except the ones
needed to build efistub), we convert it to a bzImage. This required
some creative use of the -o option to convince Make not to rebuild
all of the .o files we've just deleted as dependencies.

Remove the 68() which I'm not really sure what it does but still works and
breaks our version of binutils.
