Hi,

I'm trying to get an allmodconfig kernel to boot. The way I configure
the kernel is:
'make allmodconfig KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=$(pwd)/arch/arm64/configs/defconfig'
allmodconfig will use the KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG file as the base and then
turn the rest into modules.

The idea behind using the defconfig as base and then configure the rest
as modules is to get a bootbable kernel that have as many features
turned on as possible. That will make it possible to run as wide a
range of testsuites as possible on a single kernel.

These patches makes it possible to boot a LE kernel.

JFYI, the CMDLINE_FORCE and CPU_BIG_ENDIAN changes only allow the 5.4-rc3 allmodconfig kernel to start to boot, but finally die, on my arm64 ACPI-based system.

There is a lot of complaining from the kernel during its *10 minutes* of booting, like this ...
