The softlockup_panic sysctl is currently a binary option: panic
immediately or never panic on soft lockups.
Panicking on any soft lockup, regardless of duration, can be overly
aggressive for brief stalls that may be caused by legitimate operations.
Conversely, never panicking may allow severe system hangs to persist
undetected.
Extend softlockup_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the
kernel to panic only when the normalized lockup duration exceeds N
watchdog threshold periods. This provides finer-grained control to
distinguish between transient delays and persistent system failures.
The accepted values are:
- 0: Don't panic (unchanged)
- 1: Panic when duration >= 1 * threshold (20s default, original behavior)
- N > 1: Panic when duration >= N * threshold (e.g., 2 = 40s, 3 = 60s.)
The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full
backward compatibility while allowing systems to tolerate brief lockups
while still catching severe, persistent hangs.

Commit d6ace46c82 ("ext4: remove obsolete EXT3 config options")
removed the obsolete EXT3_CONFIG options, since it had been over a
decade since fs/ext3 had been removed. Unfortunately, there were a
number of defconfigs that still used CONFIG_EXT3_FS which the cleanup
commit didn't fix up. This led to a large number of defconfig test
builds to fail. Oops.

Commit 654102df2a ("kbuild: add generic support for built-in boot
DTBs") introduced generic support for built-in DTBs.
Select GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB to use the generic rule.
To keep consistency across architectures, this commit also renames
CONFIG_OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME to CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME.

I have been using a litex SoC for glibc verification. Update the
default litex config to support required userspace API's needed for the
full glibc testsuite to pass.
This includes enabling the litex mmc driver and filesystems used
in a typical litex environment.
