[OE-core] [PATCH 2/5] linux-yocto: make kernel configuration audit user visible

[Bruce Ashfield]

After a linux-yocto style kernel is configured, a kernel configuration
audit is executed to detect common errors or issues with the config.

This output used to be visible, but was made less obvious to not alarm
users unnecessarily (since some configuration issues are acceptable).

There are some classes of configuration issue that are worth being
visible, and that is specified configuration values that do not make the
final .config. These dropped options can result in any number of runtime
failures, so flagging them at build time makes sense.

The visibility of auditing is controlled by KCONF_AUDIT_LEVEL:

   0: no reporting
   1: report options that are specified, but not in the final config
   2: report options that are not hardware related, but set by a BSP

The default level is 1, with level 2 and above being for BSP development
only.

If these conditions are detected, warnings will be generated as follows:

  WARNING: [kernel config]: specified values did not make it into the
  kernel's final configuration:

  Value requested for CONFIG_SND_PCSP not in final ".config"
  Requested value: "CONFIG_SND_PCSP=y"
  Actual value set: ""

or

  WARNING: [kernel config]: BSP specified non-hw configuration:

  CONFIG_BLOCK
  CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT
  CONFIG_CORDIC
  CONFIG_CRC8
  CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS
  CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION
  CONFIG_NET
  CONFIG_NETDEVICES
  CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED
  CONFIG_WEXT_CORE
  CONFIG_WEXT_PROC
  CONFIG_WIRELESS

At this point thse are only a warnings, since there needs to be time for
layers and configuration fragments to be validated against this new
check.
