I just got a build failure for VF610 because of the lack of AUTO_ZRELADDR,
so this patch should fix that. Good.

Should we move those options into the respective subdirectories,
for consistency with the other platforms?

The current top-level Kconfig file is much too large at the moment,
so that would reduce the clutter a bit, but then again, all three
of these currently don't need a Kconfig file for themselves, so
that might be a bit silly as well.

Another option might be to consolidate these three into a single
directory, if someone can come up with a good name. The machine
files are all trivial, so they could even be merged into one as
far as I can tell, we just need slightly different 'select'
statements above.

If we do that, is it possible to merge Vybrid into that as well?
I guess the main question here is how much other infrastructure
(if any) from mach-imx is used on vf610, and if there is some other
way to do that.
