One line of text _cannot_ accurately describe these options.
YES! We need Linux Kconfig.
How is this option used? What the valid range of settings for this option? What is a sane defaut? If no sane default then how do you discover what it need to be? What are your tradeoffs?
What platform is this option valid for? (cpu?,chipset?)
more generically: What dependencies does this option have? Kconfig does this dependency stuff nicely.
The only thing I dont know how to include in Kconfig is the tree in Config.lb.
But I think the tree should stay in config.lb, as it is not a config option but a hardware description. The one that we use to create pirq, mptable, acpi completely automatically some day. </vision-mode>
