Sorry, I misread your original question. Yes, of course you can help
with the migration! :-) As I mentioned, I'm doing a first step of
modifying the build system to enable conditional compilation. I'll
have those patches submitted to the ML in the next few days.

Both the common and drivers directories can be organized. I recommend
waiting for the build patches to be merged into the -testing tree and
basing your changes on top of that. Then you can post your changes to
the ML. Hint: don't try to move all the files in a single patch.
Split the move up into smaller chunks.

Another task that needs to be done is to import the Kconfig source
code into u-boot and build it. I haven't figured out when I'll be
able to take on that task yet. This work can be done in parallel with
the build system changes. It's not until we start actually *using*
kconfig that the changes will require coordination.

Cheers,
g.
