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.Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap

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 | 64bitThe 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.Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

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=nTo use this the Kconfig file must use "64BIT" as the
config value to select between 32 and 64 bit.Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

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.

This changes a few mentions of my email address to point to the new one,

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.Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl
