What do people think about creating a common drivers/Kconfig
that includes the drivers/*/Kconfig files? This saves quite
a few superflous Kconfig lines and is a natural way to avoid
the architectyures going out of sync. Yes, this requires
every driver having proper bus-depencies but we should be
almost there already.
Sample patch (for ppc, i386 and x86_64) attached.

Yes, this is the goal.
This won't be very useful to the more exotic architectures like S/390,
which use almost none of drivers/* except for drivers/s390/*, so for
non-PCI, non-ISA architectures I have a feeling that including
drivers/Kconfig would be a waste.
