But that would be different from how we handle all other targets currently...
IMHO we shoud go into a different direction instead, e.g. by adding a
"--kconfig-dir" switch to the configure script. If it has not been
specified, the configs will be read from default-configs/ (or maybe we
should then rename it to configs/default/). But if the switch has been
specified with a directory as parameter, the config files will be read from
that directory instead. We could then have folders like:
- configs/default (current default-configs)
- configs/no-tcg (all machines that work without tcg)
- configs/lean-kvm (for "nemu"-style minimalistic settings)
etc.
What do you think?
