The streamline_config.pl misses the if conditions for checking
dependencies. For Kconfigs with the following construct:
if MEDIA_SUPPORT
config VIDEO_DEV
[...]
If VIDEO_DEV was enabled, the script will miss the fact that MEDIA_SUPPORT
is also needed.
This patch changes streamline_config.pl to include if conditions into
the dependencies of configs.

When the output directory is something other than the kernel source,
the streamline_config script gets confused. This patch passes in the
source directory to the script so that it can find the proper files.

As Andi Kleen pointed out, most people would expect that the local .config
file to be based for a streamline config. This patch changes the order
of searching for a config file to consider the .config in the local
directory first.

Many distros put their config in /boot/config-`uname -r`, add a check
for that right after /proc/config.gz

Due to cut and paste error IKCONFIG was both set and cleared.
It was suppose to be IKCONFIG_PROC to be cleared.
Also cleaned up if nesting.

Instead of using the .config in the local directory. This patch
changes streamline_config.pl to search various locations for a config.
Here's the list and order of search:
/proc/config.gz
/boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
vmlinux # local to the directory
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/kernel/configs.ko
kernel/configs.ko
kernel/configs.o
.config
Once it finds a file that contains a config (it checks if the binary
objects have configs first) it then uses it to create the .config
with minimum modules needed.

Ingo Molnar suggested that the streamline_config.pl should enable
CONFIG_IKCONFIG to keep the current config in the kernel.
Then we can use scripts/extract-ikconfig to find the current
modules.
This patch changes streamline_config.pl to check if CONFIG_IKCONFIG
is not set, and if it is not, it enables it to be a module.

The streamline_config.pl finds all the configs that are needed to
compile the currently loaded modules. After it creates the .config
file, it tests to make sure all the configs that are needed were
set.
It only looks at the configs that are modules, it does not look
at the builtin configs. This causes unnecessary warnings about modules
not being covered.

If a config does not have a prompt, it must be selected.
streamline_config.pl keeps track of all configs that select other configs.
If a config that does not have a prompt needs to be set to enable a
current module, it will include all configs that select it.
Note, streamline_config.pl does not enable modules that are not already
enabled. It only keeps enabled those that were enabled and might be
needed to compile the current modules.
The code to find the selects of a config is after the code that
adds the depends. But if a config needed selects but had no dependencies,
it would not be set. Because the code would stop before getting to
the select.

streamline_config.pl is a very powerful tool. For those that install
a kernel to a new box using the config file from the distribution know that
it can take forever to compile the kernel.
Making a custom config file that will still boot your box, but bring
down the compile time of the kernel can be quit painful, and to ask
someone that reported a bug to do this can be a large burdon since that
person may not even know how to build a kernel.
This script will perform "lsmod" to find all the modules loaded on the
current running system. It will read all the Makefiles to map which
CONFIG enables a module. It will read the Kconfig files to find the
dependencies and selects that may be needed to support a CONFIG.
Finally, it reads the .config file and removes any module "=m" that is
not needed to enable the currently loaded modules. The output goes to
standard out.
Here's a way to run the script. From the Linux directory that holds
a distribution .config.
$ scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl arch/x86/Kconfig > config-sl
$ mv .config config-save
$ mv config-sl .config
$ make oldconfig
Now you have a .config that will still build all your modules, but also
take much less time to build the kernel.
