Bunch of other typos.

This switches alpha to use drivers/Kconfig instead of including most of
files included by drivers/Kconfig, thus enabling previously omitted i2c
(already used in some drivers available on alpha) and telephony drivers.

Because drivers/message/fusion/Kconfig was included only conditionally
("if PCI"), this patch also changes CONFIG_FUSION to depend on PCI.

(these changes were consulted with Christoph Hellwig in "i2c on alpha
- used but not available in 2.6.3" thread on LKML)

As a bonus: cris, h8300, m68k and sparc can use CONFIG_HOTPLUG now.

The 2.6 Kconfig language allows to set the range for integer questions.

The patch below adds a range line on all architectures that have a
NR_CPUS question except ia64.

The help text on ia64 didn't suggest any values. Could someone tell the 
correct values for ia64 (and if it's only a minimum value of 2)?

I'd like to kill willy's CONFIG_EISA_ALWAYS kludge.  So make EISA_bus a
variable always when CONFIG_EISA is set and initialize it to 1 for alpha.
We probably want to do that only if the system actually supports eisa, but
I keep the old behaviour for now.

When I change the setting of CONFIG_EISA, everything rebuilds.  This is
because EISA_bus is declared in <asm/processor.h> which is implicitly
included by just about everything.  This is a silly place to declare it,
so this patch moves it to include/linux/eisa.h.

While I'm at it, I also move the variable definition to
drivers/eisa/eisa-bus.c.  The rest of this patch is fixing up the fallout
from having to include <linux/eisa.h> if you use EISA_bus.

This adds CONFIG_64BIT to allow us to disable non-64-bit safe drivers on
64-bit platforms and converts the I2O driver to use it.

Remove CONFIG_KCORE_AOUT: the ability to present /proc/kcore in a.out
format.

I've checked with various arch maintainers.  It won't be missed.

Allows all architectures to simply include the sound/Kconfig file.
Now somebody can finally update the comment for CONFIG_SOUND ;-).

From Matthew Wilcox <willy@debian.org>.

This patch moves all the duplicated cdrom Kconfig bits from arch/*/Kconfig
to drivers/cdrom/Kconfig

Move all the SCSI Kconfig bits from arch/*/Kconfig into driver/scsi/Kconfig.
Also add notes about FireWire & USB.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is set to Y, -g will be added to CFLAGS.
Several architectures already put -g in CFLAGS, often via a patch
to the top-level makefile.
This option is put in the kernel hacking menu, guarded by CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.

Added CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO in Kconfig for the architectures that
already had CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL

This patch creates fs/Kconfig.binfmt and converts all architectures to
use it.  I took the opportunity to spruce up the a.out help text for
the new millennium.

Patch by Matthew Wilcox.

Allows all architectures to simply include the drivers/ide/Kconfig file.

Alternatively, we can set CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS=y unconditionally to
avoid ifdefs - jensen has dummy PCI infrastructure anyway.

We should set CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS=y unconditionally on alpha to avoid
ifdefs - jensen has dummy PCI infrastructure anyway.

This is a patch from Robert P.J. Day that replaces www.linuxdoc.org
(which is outdated and unspported according to www.tldp.org)
with www.tldp.org in lots of Kconfig files.

Forward port of Jay's 2.4 patch.
Also I've cleaned up EISA configury - we only need it for
systems with EISA.

Ivan.

Patch from Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org>

Take CONFIG_SWAP out of the top-level menu into the general setup menu.  Make
it dependent on CONFIG_MMU and common to all architectures.

From:  GertJan Spoelman <kl@gjs.cc>

  OK, here is a new patch, I edited the old patch and took out the .ko's
  so now the extension is trimmed instead.

Use CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK to trigger disable_early_printk() call in
console_init (tty_io.c) to turn off "srmcons" prints rather than the
existing code in time.c.

From Jeff.Wiedemeier@hp.com:

Update titan system support include AlphaServer DS25, AGP,
enhanced machine check handling.

From Jeff.Wiedemeier@hp.com:

Make the max IDE HWIFS configurable on alpha (default to
previous hardwired value of 4).

arch/alpha/kernel/ to the config options that need them.  Fix
a few build problems for XLT and RX164.

Patch from donaldlf@i-55.com.

Ok, here comes part 2. Not mentioned in the first mail: it makes some minor
formatting changes in some comments.

This removes the old documentation, adds the new one and fixes all
references to it.
