This was fine at the time, but now I think we need to remove
linux-libre-4.0, because it is no longer supported and there are
probably unpatched security flaws in it now.  The final release of that
line was 4.0.9, which was released at the same time as 4.1.3.  Now 4.1.4
has been released, but there will apparently never be a 4.0.10.

I'm currently doing a test build of 4.1.4.  If it succeeds, I will
update to it, and then, in the absence of objections, I will make the
latest linux-libre the default kernel and remove linux-libre-4.0.
