Create a kconfig user assistance guide, with a few tips and hints
about using menuconfig, xconfig, and gconfig.
Mostly contains user interface, environment variables, and search topics,
along with mini.config/custom.config usage.

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
all.config.
For a fix the diffstat is nice:
6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)
The patch reverts these commits:
- 0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116 ("kconfig: add helper to set
config symbol from environment variable")
- 2a113281f5cd2febbab21a93c8943f8d3eece4d3 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
set 64BIT with all*config targets")
Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
not needed.
With this patch we have following behaviour:
# make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit
=====================================================
./. | 32bit | 64bit
ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit
The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.
So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will
be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
other way around.
This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
suprises here.
make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
and 64-bit using menuconfig.

The variable K64BIT can now be used to select the
value of CONFIG_64BIT.
This is for example useful for powerpc to generate
allmodconfig for both bit sizes - like this:
make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=y
make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=n
To use this the Kconfig file must use "64BIT" as the
config value to select between 32 and 64 bit.

Mikael Pettersson pointed out to me that a recent patch of mine (commit
620034c84d1d939717bdfbe02c51a3fee43541c3), that made some corrections to the
README file, accidentally listed the Cris architecture twice. Whoops.
This patch removes the duplicate.

Here's a small patch which
- adds a few archs to the current list of supported platforms.
- adds a few missing slashes at the end of URLs.
- adds a few references to additional documentation.
- adds "make config" to the list of possible configuration targets.
- makes a few other minor changes.

The emergence of so-called "dot releases" that are non-incremental patches
against a base kernel requires different handling of patches (revert
previous patches before applying the newest one). This patch adds a
paragrach to $TOPDIR/README explaining how to do deal with dot release
patches.

Separate output directory support enables the following (at least):
o Building several configurations from the same SRC base, and in parrallel
o Building from a RO media
o More efficient build if files are retreived via NFS (files stored locally)
Usage is simple:
cd /path/to/kernel/src
mkdir ~/build/kernel
make O=~/build/kernel [Make options]
Please note: The O= syntax must be used for ALL invocations of make.
As an alternative you may set KBUILD_OUTPUT to the directory where
to put the output files.
The patch works for me, and I have tried with various configurations,
including allnoconfig and defconfig.
How it works:
If the O= option is used, or KBUILD_OUTPUT is set then a second invocation
of make happens in the output directory.
The second invocation of make uses VPATH to tell make where to locate
the files. Furthermore include options for gcc is modifyied to point
both in the directory where the kernel src is located, and in the
directory where the output files are located. The latter is used for
generated .h files.
When building the kernel the asm symlink is created. To support this
a new 'include2' directory is created. Within include2/ asm is a symlink to
the asm-$(ARCH) directory in the kernel src.
Also when building the kernel the asm-offset.h file is created, and
located in the include/asm-$(ARCH) directory, but included via
<asm/asm-offset.h>.
Therefore within include/ another asm symlink is created pointing to
the asm-$(ARCH) directory located in the output directory.
In Makefile.build the output directory is created if not already present.
This was needed to support xfs, and oprofile.
The patch is loosly based on ideas from Kai G. Roman Zippel
introduced support for this in kconfig long time ago
