My thinking is that we convert CONFIG_* to __i386__, __x86_64__, 
__powerpc__, and the like, using the hack-modules pass in 'make sync'.

The advantages of that are:

- 'make sync' headers are architecture independent.  Currently once you 
run 'make sync', the headers become tied to the arch, even the ones in 
include/linux
- The headers are standalone -- no need for -DCONFIG_* in anything that 
includes it
- We already mangle things, so it's not a big change

I think Xiantao was going to try it, but if not, then please do it 
yourself.  I could too, of course, but I prefer someone that can test on 
non-x86 do it.
