Kernel file names will be generic (/boot/vmlinuz).
Release path still has the 'flavor' in it so that pmbootstrap can still
get a reference to which kernel package is installed
This replaces the mkinitfs script with a re-write (in Go). The
re-written mkinitfs will atomically replace the initfs in /boot, check
for free space before doing so, and try to do whatever it can to not
leave the system in an unbootable state by botching the initfs
creation/installation.
pmb:cross-native with go cross compiling doesn't work exactly, it makes
the correct binary, but on Alpine go uses -buildmode=pie which creates a
dynamic thing, and the interpreter is wrong (e.g. it it set to use the
host arch's interpreter, like /lib/ld-musl-x86_64 even though
GOARCH=arm64)
The init.sh script is no longer a template, "initramfs-extra" is used.

This tool is used by the new mkinitfs to finalize/install boot files.
It's based on the old mkinitfs_functions.sh, but includes some
improvements like verifying free space in target directory, and trying
to atomically mv files.
This fix was pending since before charging-sdl was deprecated and still
provides value should anyone wish to pickup and improve charging-sdl
again.
charging-sdl currently does not check for devices using mesa, even
though it supports it in the same way as osk-sdl. Check for msa support
and set SDL_VIDEODRIVER in that case.
Also fix the font path, as it was reading both keyboard-font and
keyboard-font-size from osk.conf.
Installing "onboard" onscreen keyboard and enabling autostart.
Option "Don't auto-show while external keyboards are connected" is
activated.

Changes:
- Kernel side support for ModemManager
- Picked upcoming patch series for 5.15 + fixes, theoretically
improving GPU perf
- Updated patch series from lists

but this will enable HW video decoding!
- Cleanup the defconfigs
- Rebase on v5.14-rc7
- Upstreamed more patches
- Enable Jack detection kctls for msm8916 devices
- Probably many other things I forgot :)
Device changes:

Disable the hostname management feature of NetworkManager. This isn't
useful for the postmarketOS use case, where we set one hostname in
/etc/hostname via pmbootstrap and want it to be used. (It makes more
sense for normal PCs, which may just have the hostname 'localhost' at
the end of the installation and then not be unique in the network.)
NetworkManager is supposed to only change the hostname if it is set to
localhost, however this detection does not work properly in
postmarketOS. I've skimmed through sources of elogind, NetworkManager
and OpenRC a bit and found that in OpenRC the definitive location to put
the hostname is /etc/hostname. The other path, /etc/conf.d/hostname, is
just a fallback. Experiments show that setting something in
/etc/conf.d/hostname does prevent NM from setting a hostname offered by
the DHCP server, but it's not clear to my why this happens. I suspect
elogind + dbus. Disabling this feature we don't need anyway seems like a
good approach to me without wasting too much time here.
Previously it was assumed that with the counter and the sleep 0.1 the
process would take about 10 seconds to complete. On newer devices with
tens or even hundreds of partitions going through all partitions already
takes a significant amount of time, so change the logic to measure the
time elapsed instead.
This fixes DNS when a system is connected to a pmOS device as a hotspot.
The rule is in the default set of firewall rules, instead of a
subpackage.. I think this is OK. I don't believe anything should be
listening on port 53 except when the hotspot is running...

So let's actually do this. This way also binaries installed by e.g. Pip
or Cargo will be usable out-of-the-box rather than that the user has to
figure out why it's not appearing in their PATH.
plasma-nm-mobile is already a dep of plasma-phone-components
ofono is already a dep of plasma-phone-components
ofono-openrc already gets pulled in automatically through openrc and

The flavor string was naively parsed using sed by removing everything
before the first hyphen, this breaks for -rc kernels. Instead lets glob
/usr/share/kernel for the installed kernel flavor. This will also
prevent the kernel being flashed if the running kernel has a different
localversion than the updated one.

Add ttyescape, a script and triggerhappy configuration to allow mobile device
users to access and use a shell without having to plug in to a computer.
One of the largest limitations with a mobile device is the lack of keyboard, for
mainstream OSs like Android and iOS, this is a non-issue as the whole OS stack
is built to automatically recover in case of a crash / hang, hiding the internal
state of affairs from users and making use of careful design to minimise the
impact. When bringing Linux to mobile, we carry not only the benefits of the
Linux desktop but also it's limitations. In the event that your desktop manager
goes haywire or hangs completely, or your graphics drivers get unhappy, the
ability to quickly jump to a tty and start killing bad behaving programs or
reset your display manager is one that most of us take for granted. But when
hit by similar errors on a mobile device there is no such recourse available,
users either have to reboot and hope that the issue doesn't occur again, or pull
out a laptop and pull up a shell (assuming ssh is enabled and the rndis
interface comes up).
ttyescape proposes to solve this issues by pieceing together several already
available tools, notably:
- triggerhappy, a tool used to perform actions when
certain buttons or key combinations are pressed with no dependencies on the
display manager in use.
- fbkeyboard, a framebuffer keyboard for tty's, it
renders on top of the current tty and uses the device touchscreen as input.
gzip results in a boot.img that's too big (over 8 MB) for e.g.
samsung-i9300, so let's replace it with something that produces
smaller kernels. With this, the entire boot.img is 6,3 MB (down
from 8MiB, or 8.5458944 MB) which leaves plenty of space on the
8 MB partition and prevents the recovery from being overwritten
when this kernel is flashed.
Tested and works on samsung-i9300.

This provides a mobile-friendly music player in the default
installation which is something that's currently lacking.
[ci:skip-vercheck]: _pmb_recommends change doesn't need pkgrel bump
The networkmanager hotspot needs to have DHCP input enabled on the wifi
interfaces so the temporary dnsmasq instance can work. The
networkmanager backend is also switched to the nftables one so it can
create the ad-hoc hotspot forwarding/masquerade table.
Proper fix for the monospace fonts seen when postmarketos-ondev is
installed without also installing osk-sdl. This doesn't happen anymore
with pmbootstrap install --ondev, because it will always pull in osk-sdl
again for other reasons. However, since postmarketos-ondev is using this
font, let's directly depend on it instead of having it pulled in as side
effect of also having osk-sdl installed.
And extend bootloader CMDLINE per default, giving us the option to
change the CMDLINE both via the kernel config and from samsung's
S-BOOT shell.
Note: the default console in exynos_defconfig (which this config is
based on) is ttySAC1, but all midas devices uses ttySAC2, so set it to
ttySAC2 instead. Also remove all other variables. They are not needed,
and (at least) root=/dev/ram0 seem to prevent us from booting pmos.
