Quite a bit of the test suite was designed to work with ancient kernels. Thankfully we no longer have to deal with this. This commit updates things that we can finally update and removes things that we can finally remove, to avoid the build-up of the last several years as a result of having to support ancient kernels. We can finally rely on suppress_ prefixlength being available. On the build side of things, the no-PIE hack is no longer required, and we can bump some of the tools, repair our m68k and i686-kvm support, and get better coverage of the static branches used in the crypto lib and in udp_tunnel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
