[PATCH v4 0/4] powerpc patches for new Kconfig language

[Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>]

This series of patches improves th powerpc kbuild system. The
motivation was to to be compatible with the new Kconfig scripting
language that Yamada-san has proposed here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild.git/?h=kconfig-shell-v3

I have tested on top of that tree and powerpc now builds there.

I think patches 1-3 are improvements to the build system even before
kconfig-shell, so they could be merged ahead of it in the powerpc
tree.

Patch 4 takes advatage of a new feature of the kconfig-shell work to
improve powerpc kconfig, so that should instead be merged with the
kbuild tree with an ack from powerpc, after patches 1-3 are merged.

v4 just brings some build fixes to patch 3 (including a change from
patch 4 that belonged in patch 3), and improvemets to changelogs.

Thanks,
Nick
