The toplevel Makefile creates the directory if it runs silentoldconfig
automatically, but if run manually, it fails:

  $ make mrproper
  $ make defconfig && make silentoldconfig
  *** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
  #
  # configuration written to .config
  #
  scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig

  *** Error during update of the kernel configuration.
  ...

Move the mkdir command to the silentoldconfig target to make it work.

When the output directory is something other than the kernel source,
the streamline_config script gets confused. This patch passes in the
source directory to the script so that it can find the proper files.

There's a dependency missing.

$ make localyesconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/docproc
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/hash
using config: '/boot/config-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.x86_64'
/bin/sh: line 8: scripts/kconfig/conf: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [localyesconfig] Error 127
make: *** [localyesconfig] Error 2

Thus the script failed to run. But the sed command that converts the '=m'
to '=y' still ran. This gives us a distro config with all modules
converted to built in!

The missing dependency was for conf for localyesconfig. This
dependency was already set for localmodconfig.

If one were to run localmodconfig or localyesconfig without having
a .config already in the file, then the end of the process would give
a warning when it tries to move the old .config to .config.old.

This patch adds a test to check if .config exists and avoid the moves
if it does not.

[ Impact: remove warning after make localmodconfig ]

This adds the option localyesconfig to make. This is similar to
localmodconfig, but after it removes unnecessary modules it runs

  sed -i s/=m/=y/

on the .config file. It then runs "make silentoldconfig" to fix any
wholes that were created by the conversion of modules to core.

Running the streamline_config.pl script manually can still be confusing
for some users. This patch adds the localmodconfig option. This will
automatically run streamline_config.pl on the current .config and
then run "make silentoldconfig" to fix any wholes that might have been
created.

 $ make localmodconfig

This will remove any module configurations in .config that are not needed
to compile the modules that are loaded.

Teach scripts/kconfig/Makefile and top-level Makefile that arch/*/Makefile
is allowed to say Kconfig := <whatever I want instead of arch/blah/Kconfig>.
Rewrite arch/um/Kconfig and arch/um/Kconfig.<subarch> so that the latter
would be top-level one (and include the pieces of the former).

Massimo Maiurana reported:
In the latest kernel "make update-po-config" fails because it tries
to open arch/Kconfig/Kconfig, since the ls command doesn't
distinguish between files and directories.
