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 in the powerpc tree. Patch 4 takes advatage of a new feature of the kconfig-shell work to improve powerpc kconfig, so that should instead be merged with the kbuild tree with an ack from powerpc, after patches 1-3 are merged. v4 just brings some build fixes to patch 3 (including a change from patch 4 that belonged in patch 3), and improvemets to changelogs.
