Sebastien Boeuf 7532532ae9 kernel: configs: Add EFI support
This commit bumps the default config from 4.14.49 to 4.14.67 first,
and then enables the support for EFI firmware as OVMF used by NEMU
is an EFI firmware.

Fixes #220

Build Kata Containers Kernel

This document explains the steps to build a compatible kernel with Kata Containers. To do this use build-kernel.sh, this script automates the process to build a kernel for Kata Containers.

Setup kernel source code

./build-kernel.sh setup

The script ./build-kernel.sh tries to apply the patches from ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/kata-containers/packaging/kernel/patches/ when it sets up a kernel. If you want to add a source modification, add a patch on this directory.

The script also adds a kernel config file from ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/kata-containers/packaging/kernel/configs/ to .config in the kernel source code. You can modify it as needed.

Build the kernel

After the kernel source code is ready it is possible to build the kernel.

./build-kernel.sh build

Install the Kernel in the default path for Kata

Kata Containers uses some default path to search a kernel to boot. To install on this path, the following command will install it to the default Kata containers path.

./build-kernel.sh install
