Andrew, I don't see a need just now for the new kernel/Kconfig file
since dependency/ordering issues are (supposed to be) gone in Kconfig
vs. old config.in files.

However, having the Log Buffer size selection in only one place instead
of in 20 arch-specific files is a good thing IMO.

Here's a much smaller patch that just changes the current (2.5.54-bk4)
Kconfig to depend on DEBUG_KERNEL (could be EXPERIMENTAL though) instead
of always making it visible, and makes it one number (a shift value).

I'd like to have this version applied to 2.5.54++. Linus, how is it?

Thanks,

~Randy
