I think this is what Linus wants .. I tested this to make a OK msm
config for trout, and it does that although I didn't boot test it. I
couldn't get the select statement to select inside a choice menu, so I
had to convert to a regular menu.

You use it like this,

KBUILD_KCONFIG=arch/arm/Kconfig.trout make ARCH=arm allnoconfig

For me, I don't like this method.
