[U-Boot-Users] [RFC] u-boot migration to kconfig

Hi,

Two points :

1) If you're ok, I can work on kconfig itself.
2) About the re-organization
I'd like to create a tree like following
arch/arm/
arch/arm/board <- the boards
arch/arm/boot <- where will be store the u-boot & u-boot.bin
arch/arm/config <- defconfig
arch/arm/commom <- arch specific common
arch/arm/lib <- the lib_arm
arch/i386/
arch/i386/board
arch/i386/boot <- where will be store the u-boot & u-boot.bin
arch/i386/config <- defconfig
arch/i386/commom <- arch specific common
arch/i386/lib <- the lib_i386
common
lib <- lib_generic
drivers

Best Regards
