SRU Justification:

[Impact]

Include master annotations and remove disabling overwrites not related to hardware support.
This will ease support for kvm derivatives until EOL.

[Fix]

As this a stable kernel, this may be too much already modifications, but those are limited
to enable features which are already enabled in master and shouldn't break existing application.
Only one option was disabled, CONFIG_EMBEDDED, which was unused.

[Test Plan]

Built and booted.
Boot time are similar, the size of the generated kernel is increased by a few percents.
Specific look should be given while doing the next cranking for regression.

[Where problems could occur]

Quite a number of configuration has been changed.
Those are mainly focused on protocol/network, kernel debugging features (BPF/Kprobes/Ftrace),
or filesystems support, including NFS.

[Other Info]

If this change land without issues, we may want to port these changes to other kvm derivatives.
