Compaction is the only memory management component to form high order (larger
physically contiguous) memory blocks reliably. The page allocator relies on
compaction heavily and the lack of the feature can lead to unexpected OOM
killer invocations for high order memory requests. You shouldn't disable this
option unless there really is a strong reason for it.

The 4.14 kernel configuration defaulted to a v4/v5 multiplatform while
4.9 was using a v6/v7 default configuration. Resync 4.14 against 4.9 so
they are nearly identical.

Enable CONFIG_VFP again which was disabled during the 4.9 -> 4.14 bump.
Boot tested both 32 and 64 bit subtargets using initramfs images with the
qemu-system-arm and qemu-system-aarch64 emulators.

This is helpful for Orion-based NAS boxes that have the XOR engine enabled
since it provides faster software RAID.

Enable support for this machine in the kernel and also produce valid image
files with the correct machine id.
