[Buildroot] [PATCH] bump linux kernel versions

[H Hartley Sweeten]

Bump all the linux kernel version to the latest available and add a
help note for all of them with the release data and status.

The long-term stable 2.6.27 kernel is really out of date (.27 -> .45).

Committed, thanks - I really think we should move to a free form version
selection (E.G. a string) in the long term though.
