linux-kvm standard configs for kernel test suite

[Kamal Mostafa]

linux-kvm needs various standard kernel features and diagnostic options in order to run the Ubuntu kernel test suite:

enable AIO
enable HUGETLBFS
enable IA32_EMULATION
enable SWAP
enable USERFAULTFD
enable FANOTIFY
enable EVENTFD
enable POSIX_MQUEUE
enable MEMBARRIER
enable CONNECTOR, PROC_EVENTS
enable ADVISE_SYSCALLS
enable SECURITY, SECURITY_APPARMOR
enable DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES
enable IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
enable OPENVSWITCH
enable SELINUX, SMACK, TOMOYO, YAMA
enable CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG
enable RELOCATABLE, RANDOMIZE_BASE
enable CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG
enable SELINUX, SMACK, TOMOYO, YAMA
enable OPENVSWITCH

A test kernel with these changes has demonstrated positive test results (most kernel test suites pass, some don't due to intentionally disabled configs).
