Bruce Ashfield 60d3f65d1c kernel-devsrc: fix on-target module build for v5.8+
The kernel build is now more sensitive to changing build inputs,
like the compiler, linker, source tree location, versions, file
timestamps, etc.

When a difference is detected, the kernel build invokes a syncconfig
to update/regenerate files as required. That process may prompt, and
hence breaks automated tested and other workflows.

By default, we don't want this to happen so we make sure that auto*
timestamps are newer or equal to the .config timestap, we ensure that
autoconf.h is in the filesystem and that we've substituted the
cross tools used to build the kernel with the names that will be
on the target.

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
