We don't really need this anymore, except that our docs say that you
can put firmware in /root/test-firmware, which doesn't work via
/sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path.
This should only be temporary, but there's a bug in the 3.17 rc1 and rc2 that leads to cyclic module dependencies and a segfault during the build process.
I'm only enabling for kernels >= 3.11 to be conservative, because clients and
servers automatically negotiate and use the highest mutually supported version
by default, but only in kernel 3.11 server NFSv4.1 support actually became RFC
compliant.
I'm also adding support for swap on NFS, which is enabled by default on
Ubuntu kernels.
This now provides a handful of different grsecurity kernels for slightly
different 'flavors' of packages. This doesn't change the grsecurity
module to use them just yet, however.

AppArmor only requires a few patches to the 3.2 and 3.4 kernels in order
to work properly (with the minor catch grsecurity -stable includes the
3.2 patches.) This adds them to the kernel builds by default, removes
features.apparmor (since it's always true) and makes it the default MAC
system.

Realistically, common-config is useful, but there are a lot of things in
there that are non-optionally specified that aren't always useful. For
example, when deploying grsecurity, I don't want the bluetooth,
wireless, or input joystick/extra filesystem stack (XFS, etc), nor the
staging drivers tree.
The problem is that if you specify this in your own kernel config in the
grsecurity module, by saying 'BT n' to turn off bluetooth,
common-config turns on 'BT_HCIUART_BCSP y', which then becomes unused
and errors out.
This is really just an arbitrary picking at the moment, but it should be
OK.

Although this is a release canidate version of kernel 3.12, there are
reasons for merging this anyway, as discussed in #1010 and #1006.
Thanks to @offlinehacker for this and the initial pull request.
It's bad to have the kernel config scattered across two places. (This
should also be done for the other architectures.)
Also, restore Xen and KVM guest support in Linux 3.10.
Having N different copies of the NixOS kernel configuration is bad
because these copies tend to diverge. For instance, our 3.10 config
lacked some modules that were enabled in older configs, probably
because the 3.10 config had been copied off an earlier version of some
older kernel config.
So now there is a single kernel config in common-config.nix. It has a
few conditionals to deal with new/removed kernel options, but
otherwise it's pretty straightforward.
Also, a lot of cut&paste boilerplate between the kernel Nix
expressions is gone (such as preConfigure).
