Log:
Update to 3.18.3, and all older ebuilds and associated eblits removed.
Octane (IP30) support returns in this release, with some caveats. Origin/Onyx2
(IP27) support has been fixed up, and other hardware is known to work, with the
exception of IP22, IP28, and Cobalt, which have not been tested in some time.
