mvebu: sort patches
Sort patches according to target/linux/generic/PATCHES. Additionally: - replace hashes in backported patches with the ones from main Linux tree - add descriptions to some patches Signed-off-by: Tomasz Maciej Nowak <tmn505@gmail.com> [remove 004-add_sata_disk_activity_trigger.patch separately] Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>

+The hardware queue scheduling is apparently configured with fixed
+priorities, which creates a nasty fairness issue where traffic from one
+CPU can starve traffic from all other CPUs.
+
+Work around this issue by forcing all tx packets to go through one CPU,
+until this issue is fixed properly.
