[Buildroot] Size of svn

I looked through the svn.

The avr32 boards (target/device/Atmel/atngw100_<xxx>)
recently added by John Voltz, each have their own patchset, 
and the large patches are duplications of the patches in
(target/device/Atmel/arch-avr32/kernel-patches-<version>)
That adds 2-3 MB and should be cleaned up.

The major remaining part in terms of size in target/device/Atmel 
are kernel patches for at91 and avr32 for different kernel versions.
It would be possible to download these patches as well
from an ftpserver, but the infrastructure in "target/linux" is
not there yet. I think this is 5-6 MB.

==========================
The toolchain patches for avr32 added by John,
is IMHO unneccessary and can be removed. 
IIRC they add 7-8 MB to the svn size.

The avr32 toolchain can (and should)
be built using the prepatched source.
If patches are required, then they can be located in the
(target/device/Atmel/toolchain) directory.
