Need to update kernel configs to support DesktopTeam's Hardware Detection spec

Raising importance to High apparently the presence of these options can cause race conditions. In particular current udev isn't tested with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y so there could be loads of problems not yet noticed.

commit 8631d8924ef5b56eec1a1cad87643f608fac2eba
UBUNTU: Update configuration files to be compliant to desktop specs

For i386 in linux-ports:

Nominating linux-ports fix for Intrepid. Note would probably need to rollback or defer the commit for bug #213668 which was pulled in after this one as it's basically an additional feature. Whereas this relates to system stability.

Relevant changes are present in Jaunty linux-ports 2.6.28-1.6. Closing this.
