kernel: Remove support for kernel 3.18

No target is using kernel 3.18 anymore, remove all the generic
support for kernel 3.18.

The removed packages are depending on kernel 3.18 only and are not used on
any recent kernel.

-
-use -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections
-
-In combination with kernel symbol export stripping this significantly reduces
-the kernel image size. Used on both ARM and MIPS architectures.
