Adam Joseph 0f15fd86a8 kgpe/linux.config: remove sb700 watchdog-related settings
The KGPE-D16 southbridge contains a watchdog; the kernel module for
this watchdog is sp5100_tco.

Unfortunately this watchdog keeps its counter in the main system CPU
RAM.  This means that the IOMMU will block the watchdog's attempts
to read and write its own counter (through the SMBus, which is PCI
device 0000:00:14.0), resulting in massive amounts of dmesg spam
like this:

```
        pci 0000:00:14.0: AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT domain=0x0004 address=0xfdf9103300 flags=0x0030]
piix4_smbus 0000:00:14.0: AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT domain=0x0004 address=0xfdf9103300 flags=0x0030]
```

Setting the IOMMU to allow these accesses is a headache, and
pointless anyways: the KGPE-D16 board disallows the use of the
watchdog by the CPU; it is reserved for the exclusive use of the
BMC.  Attempting to enable the watchdog does nothing; the enable bit
will not turn on.  Recent kernels check for this situation and
report when it is detected:

Fortunately there is *another* watchdog on the motherboard, inside
the `W83667HG-A` SuperIO chip, and it is supported by
`w83627hf_wdt.ko`.  Subsequent commits to ownerboot will use *that*
watchdog instead.

Adam Joseph 44caf3407c src/kernel: use 5.10.148 on all platforms
This commit bumps the kgpe and am1i platforms to 5.10.148 for the
pre-kexec() kernel, so all platforms now use the same version.

Adam Joseph a180b832e7 kgpe: flashrom.layout no longer needed
Since a6cd35, ownerboot includes a patch to flashrom which allows
nested (but non-overlapping) fmap regions, so the flashrom.layout
file is no longer necessary.

Adam Joseph 2c6a837b48 src/kevin/atf: roll back ~9months to fix suspend-to-ram
ATF v1.6 on gru-kevin causes the laptop to reset itself instead of
waking up from suspend-to-ram.  The cause of this problem is
something in the ~835 commits prior to the v1.6 release.

For now, let's simply use an older commit from upstream;
suspend-to-ram is pretty important for laptops.

TODO: git bisect and revert only the commits that cause this problem.

Adam Joseph 4a2a89d88a src/kernel: bump non-gru-kevin kernels for Linux wifi RCE
This bumps the kernel version on non-gru-kevin to 5.10.148, which
has fixes for the notorious Linux kernel wifi RCE exploits:
CVE-2022-41674, CVE-2022-42719, and CVE-2022-42720.

Adam Joseph b70f108dce platform/kevin: bump kernel to version with wifi RCE fixes
This bumps the kernel version on gru-kevin to 5.10.148, which has
fixes for the notorious Linux kernel wifi RCE exploits:
CVE-2022-41674, CVE-2022-42719, and CVE-2022-42720.

On all other platforms the ownerboot kernel is used only to kexec()
another long-lived kernel, and is therefore built without wifi
support and not vulnerable.

The gru-kevin laptop cannot use kexec() due to unfixable bugs in
mid-2010s versions of ARM's GICv3.

In some cases this bug can be worked around by having the
pre-kexec() kernel not fully initialize the GIC:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180921195954.21574-1-marc.zyngier@arm.com/

Unfortunately this workaround leaves the gru-kevin's screen in a
glitchy state post-kexec() which makes the laptop mostly unusable.
