Linux: Remove outdated redhat kernel package types
RHEL 4 and earlier had different kernel packages for different kernel
build configurations, such as: BM (bigmem), EP (enterprise), MP
(multiprocessor), or SP (single processor). RedHat 3 and earlier also
had an rhconfig.h header file that defined the type of that kernel.
All of this was removed in RHEL 5 with a 2.6.18-based kernel. RHEL 4
used a kernel based on Linux 2.6.9, and so is below our minimum
supported Linux version, so we can remove all of this logic dealing with
rhconfig.h and kernel SP/MP/etc variants.
Currently, what "variant" we build is actually slightly inconsistent.
Normally we would look at CONFIG_SMP during 'configure' to see if we're
building an SP or MP kernel, but we override this if
--with-linux-kernel-packaging (forces MPS=SP) or
--enable-redhat-buildsys (forces MPS=Default) are given.
Remove the relevant configure checks, including macros
LINUX_NEED_RHCONFIG, OPENAFS_LINUX_KERNEL_PACKAGING_CHECKS,
and LINUX_WHICH_MODULES. Remove the MPS, RHCONFIG_SP, and RHCONFIG_MP
autoconf substitution vars. Update MakefileProto.LINUX.in to remove the
various kernel package suffixes (SP, MP, etc).
Update the RedHat openafs specs file to remove the hardcoded '-SP'
suffix.
The configure parameter --with-linux-kernel-packaging now simply
determines the name and installation location of the kernel module
(openafs.ko or libafs.ko), and doesn't otherwise affect the build logic.
