drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig is only included for specific architectures.
These two correctly do not include it, so don't bother to override
it or claim that any configuration change was made.

All that config cleanup has brought them back under the size limit again
... for now ... with gcc-4.7. (I don't have a gcc-4.8 cross-compiler
to check with.)

No Alpha, PA-RISC or SH4 system supports PCI Express.
The older Marvell SoCs supported by iop32x and ixp4xx don't, but the
newer SoCs do. ARM Versatile doesn't support it and I'm pretty sure
QEMU won't let you add it, but will leave versatile alone for now.
Most supported MIPS platforms don't, but Octeon does.
I don't think PowerPC SPE systems have either PCI or PCI Express, but
I won't touch that configuration now.

efi-pstore is now a separate module (dependent on efivars). We still
want it to be auto-loaded to enable crash dumps on EFI systems, so add
another module alias.
While we're at it, explicitly set EFI_VARS_PSTORE=m matching what the
actual configuration will be.

This driver doesn't bind to any device IDs, and instead has a comment
saying that the serial_cs and hci_uart drivers should be used instead.
So there's not much point in building it.

Disable most platform drivers, SPI and I2C drivers at the top level.
Platform drivers should be selected by architecture and flavour
configurations, and generally are. SPI and I2C devices aren't easily
detectable and their drivers aren't auto-loaded, so again they should
usually be selected in specific configuration files and probed
according to board code or FDTs.
As exceptions, I2C hwmon devices may be probed by lm-sensors and many
media tuners include I2C devices which are probed with the help of the
higher-level device driver. I've tried to be conservative and also
left I2C iio, input, leds and misc devices alone for now.
Disable the regulator subsystem at the top level as only some
architectures will need it.
Disable MTD_NAND_PLATFORM, PDA_POWER and FB_S1D13XXX on x86, as these
don't appear likely to be used on any x86 system that could run our
generic kernel images.

USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT adds about 10 lines of code and is safe even if
not needed, so it's never worth turning off.
USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED was 'new' in 2006 and is now the default, so
hardly anyone will be testing the 'old' code now.

These devices need platform data (even for SDIO) and apparently are
only used with ARM boards at the moment.

Due to the way cgroup subsystems are tracked, changing any of them
between built-in and modular is an ABI change, so don't change this
right now.

At this point, Debian users should know that they may need to install
firmware from non-free. People using e.g. the r8169 driver may quite
reasonably choose not to install the associated firmware, either
because the driver doesn't actually request it for their chip or
because the driver can still work without it.
One thing we lose by doing this is a reminder that a firmware package
might also need to be upgraded, as a driver requires a newer version
of the firmware that has a different name. As an alternative, we
could compare the firmware file lists for old and new modules and only
warn about newly listed files that are missing. However, that would
also result in incorrect warnings for e.g. r8169 users, as that driver
may request a different file for each of the many chips it supports.

We warned about removal of the 'ramdisk' configuration variable
on upgrade to wheezy, and don't need to warn about it again - at
least not this prominently.

Use the same template syntax and implementation for maintainer
scripts, translations, etc. as we do for the control files. Define
the image-stem and initramfs variables to replace the old K and I
variables.
After this, debian/linux-* and debian/po/*.po are generated files (at
source preparation time) and should be ignored in svn.
Use debhelper to install the generated files at build time. This also
results in a redundant dependency on debconf (which we already have in
Pre-Depends), but this seems harmless.

Maintainer scripts generated by kernel-package pass an environment
variable $KERNEL_ARCH to hook scripts. This is undocumented but seems
to be the architecture string that the kernel will report
(e.g. through 'uname -m').
However, for the past few years our maintainer scripts have set it to
the source architecture name instead. Since no-one reported this bug,
I don't think anyone depends on it. codesearch didn't find any users
either. So remove it.
