One nice feature for users of the "x86/64" and similar builds are that
they work out of the box on most generic hardware or virtualization
platforms. I use it on real hardware and KVM with device passthrough,
and it was very easy to set up. I'm guessing this is far more common
than speculative high

That is only partially true, the Linux kernel is making a strong push

Direct Rendering Manager is mainly for running X (possibly Wayland
too). As OpenWRT is meant for networking devices, there is no need
for the support to be present.

OpenWRT is not a graphics-oriented Linux distribution. There is no
need for AGP support in any standard OpenWRT kernel.

While some older PCI motherboard might emulate some functions via
ISA, actual ISA is absent from anything non-legacy. Move ISA DMA

Question here is how far to go with removing ISA support? Certainly it
is appropriate to keep for
Full amd64 support isn't really appropriate for most situations
OpenWRT is deployed. Whereas x86-x32 seems extremely appropriate for
these situations. As such enable x86-x32 support.
CONFIG_ARCH_MMAP_RND_COMPAT_BITS is required to follow along,
otherwise the kernel build breaks.

The SCx200 is part of the Geode platform. As such generic x86

Quite reasonable to have support for the Geode HW random number
generator. On the Geode kernel.
Support for the VIA HWRNG has been enabled in common. Pull that
from the Geode kernel.

Many devices do not have hardware random number generators. Yet
more do than don't, and they are becoming more common.

I've been mentioning the issue several times, but the OpenWRT x86 builds
really don't seem to fit well. As such several x86 kernel configuration
adjustments I think are appropriate.
First, a side issue. The "# CONFIG_ is not set" was meant for use
by tools. Theory being almost all options would
Well, was a specific objective ever chosen for the x86 version of
OpenWRT?
I can state my goal/hope for OpenWRT/x86. The *WRT Linux distributions
were so named for originally targeting the LinkSys WRT54G. This was a
small AP, so one might expect builds to be for small APs. By today's
standards
I propose changing how kernel configuration files are handled in Git.
Specifically, I propose all targets on the development branch should
*always* have "config-" and "config-" files. When
development moves off the older kernel, the configuration file should be
kept until the configuration file fo
