In Linux 6.6 DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION no longer depends on FB, so we no
longer need to select FB (tested in a QEMU VM).
But if DRM is selected, we must select both DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION and
FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE or we'll see only blank screen. And now
FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE is not selected by default, be warned!!

Import kernel-config infrastructure from BLFS and use it for kernel
configuration. Note that kernel-config.py is slightly different from
BLFS: we need role="nodump" for <screen> here.
A couple of the newer kernel options overflow past 80 columns on
the kernel page. It's not optimal, but insert newlines for these
options.
Also reorder the options to to same ordeer as they appear in
menuconfig and add some blank lines between major setions for
clarity.
- Mention NVME.
- Mention PAE (CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G) for 32-bit.
- Don't repeat the link to BLFS kernel config index twice on SysV.
And don't display the long URL for it.
- Emphasis that BLFS UEFI kernel config is needed even if you'll use the
UEFI bootloader of the host distro.
This reverts commit de679165f9.
localmodconfig does not work very well. It can only *un*select things
already enabled as modules if the module is not loaded by the host. It
won't select anything new, nor unselect unneeded things already set to
"y" instead of "m".
Maybe you think we can copy .config from a "mainstream" distro
(producing a highly modular kernel) and use "make localmodconfig", but
when we tested it with a Debian host kernel config, the resulted kernel
refuses to boot.
"make allmodconfig && make localmodconfig" does not work well either:
"allmodconfig" selects many things as y (these thing are not available
as a module) but "localmodconfig" fails to unselect them.
