Based on the techboard meeting held on 2019-11-06,
It's been decided to disable all kmods by default from v20.02.

v2:
- Updated meson config file to disable the kmods by default(Maxime)
- Updated the release notes(Honnappa)

I am not sure, in which section, we need to update the release notes for
this specific case.I have updated on the "New Features" section.
Thoughts ?
