Regarding compat_autoconf.h generation

Hi,

In the nouveau DRM driver there is a CONFIG_NOUVEAU_DEBUG which has to
be an integer between 0 and 7 with the default as 3.
Currently gen-compat-autoconf.sh defines this as a string by default:

           *) # Assume string
 61                 # XXX: add better checks to make sure what was on
 62                 # the right was indeed a string
 63                 echo "#ifndef $VAR"
 64                 echo "#define $VAR \"$VALUE\""
 65                 echo "#endif /* $VAR */ "
 66                 ;;

Is it OK to modify the script to allow defining integers? Also, it
seems that there is no difference with =m and =y:

              y)
 51                 echo "#ifndef $VAR"
 52                 echo "#define $VAR 1"
 53                 echo "#endif /* $VAR */ "
 54                 ;;
 55         m)
 56                 echo "#ifndef $VAR"
 57                 echo "#define $VAR 1"
 58                 echo "#endif /* $VAR */ "
 59                 ;;

How come this doesn't break things? Both =y and =m exist in config.mk.

Thanks!
