Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.

tristate "Packet socket"
|
|
---help---
|
|
The Packet protocol is used by applications which communicate
|
|
directly with network devices without an intermediate network
|
|
protocol implemented in the kernel, e.g. tcpdump. If you want them
|
|
to work, choose Y.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
|
|
be called af_packet.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say Y.
|
|
|
|
config PACKET_MMAP
|
|
bool "Packet socket: mmapped IO"
|
|
depends on PACKET
|
|
help
|
|
If you say Y here, the Packet protocol driver will use an IO
|
|
mechanism that results in faster communication.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.
