[OE-core] [RFC] qemu* kernel configs

Hi,

After finding the bug Scott was running into with systemd-image (no DEVTMPFS support) I have a closer look at the qemarm kernel config and it looks dated to me. If we want to have tools like udev, powertop, iotop, latencytop working we need to revisit the config. From a quick look I found the following items missing/incomplete:

* devtmpfs + devtmpfs automounting. Recent udev versions require it
* cgroups, systemd requires it
* process accounting, *top uses it
* fuse, gvfs requires it
* autofs4, systemd works a lot better with it

So what are people's thoughts on enabling the items that weren't set before and moving modules to built-in were needed? And if it's wanted, does anyone have a quickstart on how these changes should be done properly? My 5 minutes of google and 30 minutes of staring at the meta/ subdir didn't yield results.

regards,

Koen
