gnu: linux-libre: Remove CONFIG_SMC from x86 kernel configurations.
This removes support for the "shared memory communications over RDMA" (SMC-R) networking protocol, which was added in 4.11 without the knowledge of the RDMA maintainers, and which is thought to contain significant security flaws. For details, see <https://lwn.net/Articles/723081> and <https://lwn.net/Articles/723070>. * gnu/packages/aux-files/linux-libre/4.11-x86_64.conf, gnu/packages/aux-files/linux-libre/4.11-i686.conf: Disable CONFIG_SMC. 723# 0001-gnu-libevent-2.0-Add-fix-from-upstream.patch
