[PATCHSET] Multiarch kconfig cleanup

[PATCHSET] Multiarch kconfig cleanup

[Tomas Szepe]

Hello,

On with the [mainly networking oriented] Kconfig clean-up saga.

This is the first time I'm trying to get more than 3 people to work
together so I'd be grateful if you didn't kick me too hard should I have
screwed up.

I'm not including the patches, because that would mean everyone receives
a 115K bundle.  Instead,

wget -r http://www.pinerecords.com/kala/linux/2.5.54-config-cleanup/

will get you:

sparc32 and m68k are special in that they define their specific netdevices
in arch/{sparc,m68k}/Kconfig.

ACKLIST is as follows, i.e. people listed please ACK at least:
	Jeff Garzik		more or less all (sorry)
	Pete Zaitcev		#26, #32, #33, #35
	David Miller		#26, #27, #32, #33, #35
	Russell King		#16, #35
	Mike Phillips		#5
	(m68k people)		#19, #20, #34, #35
	(ACPI team)		#9
	(netfilter team)	#14
	Linus Torvalds		all (sorry)

The patches are to be applied sequentially.  Everything is against 2.5.54.

If you want to just test the patchset, grab & apply
http://www.pinerecords.com/kala/linux/2.5.54-config-cleanup/all/all.diff.gz

x86 seems to work as expected.  I also tried to compile sparc32 but found
out 2.5.54 vanilla itself was broken for it -- the .config looked sane,
though.

I'd really like to see the organizational patches first (ie the 
net/Kconfig type of changes), and leave the "conditional menu" patches for 
later, especially as they would seem to be improved by an extension to the 
config language (ie the "menucond" thing).

Also, I don't fetch patches, I'd much rather just be mailbombed.

In a minute, I'm sending the organizational stuff rediffed,
that's patches 15-36 from the original batch as 1-22.  I'll
only send to Linus & CC lkml.

Looks OK.

Not under our jurisdiction.

Actually CONFIG_ARIADNE2 and CONFIG_NE2K_ZORRO are the same. We introduced the
latter in the old Configure.help when the Ariadne II driver got X-Surf support,
but forgot to replace the former in the Makefile logic. And the driver is still
called ariadne2.c.

linux-m68k: Should we kill CONFIG_NE2K_ZORRO, or kill CONFIG_ARIADNE2 and
rename the driver to ne2k-zorro.c?

Looks OK.

Mainly to avoid seeing too many entries for devices we can't support (e.g. old
ISA adapters)...

Disclaimer: I didn't try to compile, I just looked at the patches.

I'm not linux-m68k, but let me add my small voice in preference to the 
latter, using ne2k-zorro as the name across the board.

If I had my druthers, I would s/pcnet_cs/ne2k_cs/ too...  hmmmmmm  :)

And I guess you want to rename mac8390 (which just got renamed from daynaport
:-) to ne2k-nubus, too?

8390 is the better name. ne2000 and ne/2 are specific product names.

So zorro8390 would be better than ne2k-zorro?

I think so. I bet Novell think so too 8)
