[PATCH v5 0/2] x86: add xenconfig

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

David Vrabel, please let me know if there are any issues. These two
patches are based on your xen/tip.git tree on the for-linus-4.1b branch.

This v5 is a respin the the old v4 series to work with the latest code.
I had stopped on the v4 at that time we were discussing doing major
Kconfig changes. In the end we decided to not go forward with tons of
Kconfig changes. As time went by though I did notice the v4 series required
on modification due to Masahiro Yamada's commit: "kbuild: add generic
mergeconfig target, %.config". This v5 series then simply adjusts
the target xenconfig to work with those changes.

The kconfig entries have not been changed but I did verify they're all
still there and those that arch specific remain arch specific.

We'll be adding options for xen as well.

[PATCH v5 2/2] x86, arm, platform, xen, kconfig: add xen defconfig helper

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

This lets you build a kernel which can support xen dom0
or xen guests by just using:

   make xenconfig

on both x86 and arm64 kernels. This also splits out the
options which are available currently to be built with x86
and 'make ARCH=arm64' under a shared config.

Technically xen supports a dom0 kernel and also a guest
kernel configuration but upon review with the xen team
since we don't have many dom0 options its best to just
combine these two into one.

make allnoconfig; make xenconfig doesn't appear to work, at least on x86.  
(This also wasn't cc'd to vger mailing list.)

Crap, thanks, guess we need some more global options. Working on adding those.
I thought this used to work from 'allnoconfig'. Will amend and fix, thanks.
