kernel: Move to Linux 4.16.1-openpower2

Move to the 4.16 series. Changes to patches:

 - "tg3: APE heartbeat changes" patch was merged upstream and can be
 dropped

 - "powerpc/mm/radix: Fix checkstops caused by invalid tlbiel" was found
 when testing with 4.16.1-openpower1 and has been posted upstream

A few new options are turned off by default as they are not useful to
petitboot. In the future we may enable DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, but it
defaults to off for now.

We bump the buildroot repository in order to support the new kernel
version.

OpenPOWER Firmware Build Environment

The OpenPOWER firmware build process uses Buildroot to create a toolchain and build the various components of the PNOR firmware, including Hostboot, Skiboot, OCC, Petitboot etc.

Documentation

https://open-power.github.io/op-build/

See the doc/ directory for documentation source. Contributions are VERY welcome!

Development

Issues, Milestones, pull requests and code hosting is on GitHub: https://github.com/open-power/op-build

See CONTRIBUTING.md for howto contribute code.

Building an image

To build an image for a Palmetto system:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:open-power/op-build.git
cd op-build
. op-build-env
op-build palmetto_defconfig && op-build

There are also default configurations for other platforms in openpower/configs/. Current POWER8 platforms include Habanero, Firestone, and Garrison. Current POWER9 platforms include Witherspoon, Boston (p9dsu), Romulus, and Zaius.

Buildroot/op-build supports both native and cross-compilation - it will automatically download and build an appropriate toolchain as part of the build process, so you don't need to worry about setting up a cross-compiler. Cross-compiling from a x86-64 host is officially supported.
