Description

  • change the example of compiling only specific modules to not contain the linux module, since it is not cross-platform
  • move linprocfs from "files" and "options" to architecture specific files, since it only makes sense to build this for those architectures, where we also have a linuxolator
  • disable the build of the linuxolator on our tier-2 architecture "Alpha":
    • we don't have a linux_base port which supports Alpha and at the same time is not outdated/obsoleted upstream/in a good condition/ currently working
    • the upcomming new default linux base port is based upon Fedora Core 3 (security support via http://www.fedoralegacy.org), which isn't available for Alpha (like the current default linux base port which is based upon Red Hat 8)
    • nobody answered my request for testing it ~1 month ago on current@ and alpha@ (it doesn't surprises me, see above)
    • a SoC student wouldn't have to waste time on something which nobody is willing to test

This does not remove the alpha specific MD files of the linuxolator yet.
