  perhaps i haven't thought this through sufficiently, but it seems
like moving all target configuration to the *_defconfig files and
Kbuild system is going to require a fair bit of variable renaming.

  as i recall from the linux kernel coding style, any variables that
begin with "CONFIG_" are meant to be defined in a Kconfig file
somewhere, so if variables are moved from header files to a Kconfig
file to be part of Kbuild, would that not require renaming them if
they don't begin with "CONFIG_"? unless there's no plan to try to keep
that standard.
