> tl,dr: add 4 small-ish UEFI-like kernels, with Microsoft patches & fixes, for use with Microsoft WSL2 on x86/arm64 and 6.1.y/6.6.y
- the boards are UEFI derivatives, using a common `microsoft` vendor include to modify
- `KERNELPATCHDIR`/`LINUXFAMILY` (for now, we don't want those patches in regular UEFI builds / .debs)
- disable `EXTRAWIFI` (kernel is for a VM, will never have wifi so doesn't need any drivers)
- `LINUXCONFIG`, so we can use Microsoft's own monolithic kernel, required for WSL2 (their initrd is a mistery)
- really, what we're mostly interested right now are the kernels (in the future we might have an "Armbian" WSL2 app in the Microsoft Store)
- `current` `6.1.y`:
- rebased from https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel/tree/linux-msft-wsl-6.1.y onto real 6.1.y
- using Microsoft's `.config` exactly (monolithic, there are no `=m`'s)
- `edge` `6.6.y`:
- also from https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel/tree/linux-msft-wsl-6.1.y but rebased onto 6.6.y
- using updated Microsoft's `.config` (monolithic, there are no `=m`'s)
- dropped 2 of 6.1.y's patches that were actually upstreamed in the meantime:
- `mm-page_reporting-Add-checks-for-page_reporting_order-param` - mainlined in https://lore.kernel.org/all/1664517699-1085-2-git-send-email-shradhagupta@linux.microsoft.com/
- `hv_balloon-Add-support-for-configurable-order-free-page-reporting` - mainlined in https://lore.kernel.org/all/1664517699-1085-3-git-send-email-shradhagupta@linux.microsoft.com/
- drop the `arm64: hyperv: Enable Hyper-V synthetic clocks/timers` patch, since it causes asm breakage on 6.6.y
- a shame, but I tried and can't fix it myself - @kelleymh ?
- add my own patch to fix:
- `1709-drivers-hv-dxgkrnl-restore-uuid_le_cmp-removed-from-upstream-in-f5b3c341a.patch` due to https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230202145412.87569-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com/ landing in 6.6
- `1710-drivers-hv-dxgkrnl-adapt-dxg_remove_vmbus-to-96ec29396-s-reality-void-return.patch` to adapt to
