This series of patches improves th powerpc kbuild system. The
motivation was to to be compatible with the new Kconfig scripting
language that Yamada-san has proposed here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild.git/?h=kconfig-shell-v3

I have tested on top of that tree and powerpc now builds there.

I think patches 1-3 are improvements to the build system even before
kconfig-shell, so they could be merged ahead of it.

Patch 4 actually takes advatage of a new feature of the kconfig-shell
changes to improve powerpc kconfig, so that should rather be merged
with the kbuild tree with an ack from powerpc. Yamada-san are you
planning to merge kconfig-shell for 4.17?

Thanks,
Nick
