- Enable BPF_SYSCALL and BPF_EVENTS
- Build modules for NET_CLS_BPF and NET_ACT_BPF
With these config options we can leverage the full potential of BPF for
tracing and instrumenting Linux systems, for example using
libraries/tools like those provided by the bcc project.
This hopefully fixes intermittent initrd failures where udevd cannot
create a Unix domain socket:
machine# running udev...
machine# error getting socket: Address family not supported by protocol
machine# error initializing udev control socket
machine# error getting socket: Address family not supported by protocol
The "unix" kernel module is supposed to be loaded automatically, and
clearly that works most of the time, but maybe there is a race
somewhere. In any case, no sane person would run a kernel without Unix
domain sockets, so we may as well make it builtin.

Systemd dropped support in 207 (would be nice if configure failed with a bad flag),
so all this does is add an annoying delay if firmware can't be found by the kernel
Namespace support is required by the `unshare` tool used in
`nixos-install`. It's enabled by the x86 defconfig, but not by
e.g. multi_v7_defconfig. So enable it here so that `nixos-install`
can work on ARM.
KVM_COMPAT apparently enables 32-bit compability syscalls for KVM, and
as such can be enabled only on a 64-bit system.

IKCONFIG must be enabled so IKCONFIG_PROC can be set. On x86 IKCONFIG
gets implicitly enabled by kernelAutoModules in platforms.nix. But ARM
doesn't use kernelAutoModules, so IKCONFIG_PROC won't get enabled
without this patch.
Commit 159fed47bc (nixos/grub: Fix video display on efi) changed BIOS
systems to start in non-text mode as well. Enable FB_VESA to get a
framebuffer console on BIOS systems. Change FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE to 'y'
instead of the default 'm' to so the user doesn't need to manually load
the fbcon module anymore.
Other distros have similar defaults, at least on Arch:
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
and on Ubuntu (12.04):
CONFIG_FB_VESA=m
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
Fixes#8139
Also build the performance governor into the kernel so there is a sane
default. Note that cpufreq.service will still load "ondemand" on
non-pstate systems.
The option has been removed in torvalds/linux@6cd176a and thus we
shouldn't try to set it for kernel version 4.
