Kconfig: introduce ARCH_DEFCONFIG to DEFCONFIG_LIST
init/Kconfig contains a list of configs that are searched for if 'make *config' are used with no .config present. Extend this list to look at the config identified by ARCH_DEFCONFIG. With this change we now try the defconfig targets last. This fixes a regression reported by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H.
