FWIW, I fully support going this direction.  I've been making some
steps in the same direction, but as always there are more things to do
than time to do them in.

My advice: start small and don't try to change too much at once.  Get
the basic infrastructure in place and get the patches out to the list.
 Maybe start with being able to select the board port with Kconfig
while leaving include/configs/* in place.  Once that is working and
proven, then start migrating configuation over to Kconfig.

Cheers,
