Any idea how to override a value in Kconfig?  We can do it for bool 
values but not strings.

e.g.

lib/Kconfig:
  config ILLEGAL_POINTER_VALUE
      hex
      default 0

arch/x86/Kconfig:
  config X86
    select ILLEGAL_POINTER_VALUE=0x80000000000000000000000000 if X86_64

?

I could do it with a boolean signifying existence and a hex for the 
value, but I'd rather not.
