The two ideas are very close to each other - and can be generated
together.

If we create something like Linus' preferred solution, we can then do
in the main arch/arm/Kconfig:

config STD_CONFIG
	bool "blah"

if STD_CONFIG

if MACH_WHATEVER
include arch/arm/config/Kconfig.whatever
endif

if MACH_BLAH
include arch/arm/config/Kconfig.blah
endif

endif

which should work as per my idea.
