nixpkgs/pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/generic.nix
Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9ef11e4c4d Made the linux kernel expressions support 'platform' again (thinking on reusing
most of the kernel expressions for the sheevaplug).
I still have not added anything in the kernels about cross compilation.
I moved the platform definitions out of all-packages.
I have not written good platform definitions for the sheevaplug - only for the
PC.
Only the linux-2.6.32 expression uses the platforms kernelConfig.
The linux-2.6.31 was broken, and I left it broken.
