This patch bumps the 4.14 kernel to .23.
- Refreshed patches.
- Deleted bcm53xx/patches-4.14/089-PCI-iproc-Fix-NULL-pointer-dereference-for-BCMA.patch. Has been accepted upstream.
- Deleted generic/pending-4.14/821-usb-Remove-annoying-warning-about-bogus-URB.patch. The upstream URB code was changed,
the patch no longer applies. I discussed this with the patch author and removed it for now, we'll see how it goes.

This adds initial support for kernel 4.14 based on the patches for
kernel 4.9.
In the configuration I deactivated some of the new possible security
features like:
CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED
CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR
CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM
And these overlay FS options are also deactivated:
CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_INDEX
CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_DIR
I activated this:
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE
CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS
CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED
I am not sure if I did the porting correct for the following patches:
target/linux/generic/backport-4.14/020-backport_netfilter_rtcache.patch
target/linux/generic/hack-4.14/220-gc_sections.patch
target/linux/generic/hack-4.14/321-powerpc_crtsavres_prereq.patch
target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/305-mips_module_reloc.patch
target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/611-netfilter_match_bypass_default_table.patch
target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/680-NET-skip-GRO-for-foreign-MAC-addresses.patch

Currently local TCP performance on wifi devices can be limited because
the TSQ (TCP Small Queues) code is tuned for wired ethernet latencies.
With this patch drivers can increase the amount of local buffering to
allow TCP to trigger larger aggregation sizes
This commit is modified from the upstream version to allow #ifdef based
backport feature detection
