Disable most platform drivers, SPI and I2C drivers at the top level.
Platform drivers should be selected by architecture and flavour
configurations, and generally are. SPI and I2C devices aren't easily
detectable and their drivers aren't auto-loaded, so again they should
usually be selected in specific configuration files and probed
according to board code or FDTs.
As exceptions, I2C hwmon devices may be probed by lm-sensors and many
media tuners include I2C devices which are probed with the help of the
higher-level device driver. I've tried to be conservative and also
left I2C iio, input, leds and misc devices alone for now.
Disable the regulator subsystem at the top level as only some
architectures will need it.
Disable MTD_NAND_PLATFORM, PDA_POWER and FB_S1D13XXX on x86, as these
don't appear likely to be used on any x86 system that could run our
generic kernel images.

Drop most patches as they're already upstream in 3.8 or early.
Refresh some others for 3.8. In particular, remove use of __devinit from
debian/radeon-firmware-is-required-for-drm-and-kms-on-r600-onward.patch
as this macro is no longer defined or needed.

flash-kernel depends on mtdblock, so enable that and include it in
mtd-modules instead of mtdchar (which wasn't enabled either).

While we're at it, explicitly disable it for mips/octeon and s390.
It's still not explicitly enabled or disabled for sh4.

- _temporarily_ disable ixp due to build failure. Hopefully, there'll be
something in -final
- disable not-working net_dma on mx5
