[PATCH v2 00/10] Kconfig: cleanup SERIO_I8042 dependencies

[msalter@redhat.com (Mark Salter)]

This patch series removes the messy dependencies from SERIO_I8042
by having it depend on one variable (ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_SERIO) and
having architectures which need it select that variable in
arch/*/Kconfig.

New architectures are unlikely to need SERIO_I8042, so this avoids
having an ever growing list of architectures to exclude. If an
architecture without i8042 support isn't excluded through the
dependency list for SERIO_I8042 or through explicit disabling in
a config, it will likely panic on boot with something similar to
this (from arm64):

[   27.426875] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b

This is v2 of the patch series. Changes from version 1:

  o Added acks. arm, ia64, and sh are only ones without acks.
  o Moved select of ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_SERIO to board-specific
    Kconfigs for arm and sh.
