Peter, these are all good thoughts, and I am really glad you are coming. Keep thinking. One thing:

build (always produces arch/x/*Image) and LBv2 style build (produces target/x/y/z/linuxbios.rom for each target) Either way the config/build system must be consistently either global or local.
I want to preserve this somehow. I want a place I build stuff and a place that sources live, a la BSD. I think the way Linux builds kernels into the middle of the source tree is a real mess.

populated. Perhaps just sets of default options that can be pre-selected as a base config and then still allow user to change whatever they want. (Kconfig has just one variant per arch, right?)
yes, kconfig has real limits, and we need to see if we can work our way around them.
