[PATCH 0/2] ports FTBFS due to configs

[Andy Whitcroft]

We are currently failing to build all ports kernels.  This is due to the
way in which the configs were merged.  Currently we have unsplit configs
for ports kernels and partly separated config update mechanisms.  However
the build system is expecting to find and use the config.common.ubuntu,
config.common.<arch> and config.flavour.<flavour> when building the
configuration for the architecture.  These being missing lead to
binary-<arch> not existing and the build to fail.

There are two obvious solutions to this problem.  The first is to
simply not keep the ports configs separate, and merging them with the
main configs.  This is trivial to do but does put maintenance of the
ports configs on the distro, it also vastly reduces the options which
trivially merge up to the top level.

The second is to more fully split the configs pushing all ports kernels
into their own configuration hierachy.  This patch set implements this
split.  It introduces the concept of a 'family' which is either ubuntu
or ports currently.  Configs for these sets are merged independantly.

Following this are two emails, the first implements the new split.
The second is the result of applying that split.  Note that you cannot
simply apply the first patch and then run update configs.  I envision
these would be committed as a single commit as previously, but the patch
is enormous and likely will be held for moderation!

Which option do people prefer?  Comments?
