I'm looking at usability cleanups on the configuration files ([Cc]onfig.in).
The main concepts are to keep related menu entries together without excessive
resort to 'misc" and "general", and to keep xconfig and menuconfig entries to
about a screenful. Those two concepts are sometimes contradictory....
The current focus is on the various mass storage drivers. I plan to group them
all under a single menu entry (done for i386, easily extensible to other arch,
except for sparc of course). The main changes are pulling the parallel port
IDE stuff out of the rest of block to a separate menu item, pulling QIC02 and
ftape out of the rest of char(!) and some changes to the way IDE configuration
works. I got a response from Martin Dalecki (to an RFC patch to lkml) that
the IDE changes looked OK.
I'll work the other arch's when this bit is in.
Please apply.
Brad
