5d2acfc7b9 kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT
"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.

However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT.  For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.

To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols.  Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT).  allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

e062781397 kconfig: do not allow more than one symbol to have 'option modules'
Previously, it was possible to have more than one symbol with the
'option modules' attached to them, although only the last one would
in fact control tristates.

Since this does not make much sense, only allow at most one symbol to
control tristates.

Note: it is still possible to have more than one symbol that control
tristates, but indirectly:

    config MOD1
        bool "mod1"
        select MODULES
    config MOD2
        bool "mod2"
        select MODULES
    config MODULES
        bool
        option modules

169dfd880a Revert "kconfig-language: add to hints"
This reverts commit 64b81ed7fb.

As Martin says about this paragraph:
    However, I can not reproduce this. The attached file contains both
    cases. [...] AFAICS, both versions behave equivalently. I suggest
    changing the documentation accordingly.

0719e1d23a Documentation/kbuild: add info that 'choice' can have a symbol name
Changeset 5a1aa8a1 added the possibility to name a choice,
and to have the same choice be defined multiple times.
But the documentation was forgotten, so this updates it accordingly.

Thanks to Arnaud Lacombe for pointing it to me in the first place:

8ea13e2c87 kconfig: implement the `mainmenu' directive
If specified, the directive must be placed at the top of the Kconfig file.

We need to change the grammar to make the mainmenu directive set the
`rootmenu' prompt. This reflect how menu_add_prompt() works internally, ie.
set the prompt of the `current_entry', pointing originally to `rootmenu'.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
