OpenEmbedded Dunfell revision-8 compile

I have sync'ed my "quirky" layer of OpenEmbedded with the latest release of the Dunfell series, 3.1.14 released in February 2022, and backported some packages (xorg, mesa, llvm, libdrm) from "master-next" branch of OE (which I think is going to be the Kirkstone release due out in April 2022).

The previous OE compile was "revision-7" in December 2021:

This latest compile is "revision-8", and all packages have the string "-r8" in their names.

I bumped 'linux-libc-headers' from 5.8 to 5.10, and the kernel from 5.10.42 to 5.15.16. Here is the complete list of changed packages:

Unfortunately, some Xorg video drivers failed to compile, and were removed. So, losing support for some old video cards. Still have these:

xf86-video-amdgpu    22.0.0
xf86-video-apm       1.3.0
xf86-video-ark       0.7.5
xf86-video-ast       1.1.5
xf86-video-ati       19.1.0
xf86-video-chips     1.4.0
xf86-video-cirrus    1.5.3
xf86-video-fbdev     0.5.0
xf86-video-i128      1.4.0
xf86-video-i740      1.4.0
xf86-video-intel     2.99.917+gitAUTOINC+31486f40f8
xf86-video-mga       2.0.0
xf86-video-neomagic  1.3.0
xf86-video-nouveau   1.0.17
xf86-video-nv        2.1.21
xf86-video-r128      6.12.0
xf86-video-rendition 4.2.7
xf86-video-tdfx      1.5.0
xf86-video-vesa      2.5.0

And of course the 'xserver-xorg' package has the modesetting driver.

The original motivation behind this upgrade, was wanted improved support for recent AMD hardware.

Note, although the Linux kernel is compiled in OE, I always compile it in a running EasyOS to configure it more to my liking. It then becomes a PET package that is used in builds.
