[RFC PATCH SET] build system: update kconfig to bring new features and fixes

[Xabier Oneca -- xOneca]

Hi Ron,

It's probably worth pointing out the patches are nearly a year old.

Yeah! They are pretty old. I did forgot that I sent those patches :P

I just rebased the patches over the latest tree (fc7868602) and it merged
without conflicts too.

The first three patches went in just fine.


I did expect so.

Expected too. Sorry. Could not find a better way to post these last two
patches

That's good news!

 I appreciate your effort for review this patchset. If it gets merged, I
have a couple more tangential improvements in the backlog to post...

Cheers,
