Perhaps instead of outright converting it (which needs thought and real hard work), how about just running a quick script over all Kconfigs and marking old-style entries as: # TODO: this stuff needs to be fixed, see Documentation/blah.txt ? Should be 15 minutes of awk and can be committed right after -rc1. Annoying messages like that tend to get the attention of architecture maintainers :-) The Kconfig rules are not always obvious so people need help. Ingo
