Joachim Wiberg 937d4c38c7 board: make usb subsystem a built-in
Use kernel cmdline option 'usbcore.authorized_default=2' to lock all
external/user-visible USB ports by default.

The kernel distinguishes internal vs external USB ports using ACPI
methods (_UPC and _PLD) on x86/x86_64 systems.  On ACPI systems, ports
marked as non-visible but connectable are considered internal (e.g.,
hard-wired USB-to-Ethernet adapters) and are automatically authorized,
while user-visible external ports require manual authorization.

However, on device tree systems the kernel lacks a standard mechanism
for identifying internal ports. The 'authorized_default=2' setting falls
back to requiring authorization for all devices on these platforms,

We list user-accessible USB ports in the device tree ('usb-ports' and
'usb-port-names'), with unlisted ports being implicitly internal and
managed separately.

Fixes #1065

Joachim Wiberg 23cf9df856 Follow-up to 7e089ee: convert to kernel modules, use /etc/modprobe.d
Instead of having to rely on the kernel command line, we convert all the
kernel functionality in question into modules and rely on the auto-load
feature in the kernel and modprobe to add options at load time.

The fb_tunnels setting is a net core setting, for that we use sysctl.

This commit also syncs the kernel config between our two main archs,
disabling DRM and SOUND for the Amd64 build as a spin-off.
