    Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada:
     "A pretty big batch of Kconfig updates.
    
      I have to mention the lexer and parser of Kconfig are now built from
      real .l and .y sources. So, flex and bison are the requirement for
      building the kernel. Both of them (unlike gperf) have been stable for
      a long time. This change has been tested several weeks in linux-next,
      and I did not receive any problem report about this.
    
      Summary:
    
       - add checks for mistakes, like the choice default is not in choice,
         help is doubled
    
       - document data structure and complex code
    
       - fix various memory leaks
    
       - change Makefile to build lexer and parser instead of using
         pre-generated C files
    
       - drop 'boolean' keyword, which is equivalent to 'bool'
    
       - use default 'yy' prefix and remove unneeded Make variables
    
       - fix gettext() check for xconfig
    
       - announce that oldnoconfig will be finally removed
