Linux kernel 4.14.27 compiled

I have compiled this in EasyOS Pyro64 0.8.1. That release came
with kernel 4.14.23, which I compiled with the 'nvm' driver builtin,
following advice from forum member scsijon:
Device drivers
<*> NVM express block device
Yesterday, scsijon advised on the forum about the new very fast 'ufs'
flash memory. Previously, I had the driver for this as a module.
However, for the 4.14.27 compile, I have changed it to builtin:
Device drivers --> SCSI device support
SCSI low-level drivers
<*> Universal flash storage controller driver core
<*> PCI bus based ufs controller support
<m> Platform bus based ufs controller support
The intention is to support computers with these very new flash memory architectures at bootup.
