a77aea9201 cgroup: remove the ns_cgroup
The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

  * cgroup creation is out-of-control
  * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
  * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
    namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
  * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

  The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
  where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
  The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
  the 'tasks' file.

This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

This is a userspace-visible change.  Commit 45531757b4 ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal.  Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

c650da23d5 PM: Remove CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE
Now that we have CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG there is no need for yet
another flag causing dev_dbg() and pr_debug() statements in the
core PM code to produce output.  Moreover, CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE
causes so much output to be generated that it's not really useful
and almost no one sets it.

e60692b934 sh: mach-sdk7786: update defconfig for compressed kernel image.
Now that compressed image loading is possible for sdk7786, drop the
vmlinux.bin default image target and update the defconfig accordingly.

02bf6cc72c sh: Preliminary SDK7786 board support.
This stubs in some preliminary board support for the RTE SDK7786.

This is quite stunted at the moment, and primarily builds on top of the
system FPGA. FPGA IRQs are handled via CPU IRL masking for simplicity,
with initial peripheral support restricted to the debug ethernet.
