[PATCH] Script to check for undefined Kconfig symbols - v2

["Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso" <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>]

In this version, I've updated the scripts to search for "\<$symb_bare\>" instead
of $symb_bare in Kconfig files. Please ignore my previous message.

To avoid to look manually for used but undefined Kconfig variables, I've
written a script which tries do this efficiently, in case all other attention
fail. It accounts for _MODULE suffix and for UML_ prefixes to Kconfig variable,
but otherwise looks for exact matches (i.e. \<CONFIG_; this is done to exclude
macros like MMCONFIG_).

Undefined Kconfig variables should be not be removed without care, but for
instance arch/i386/boot/ uses a bunch of undefined Kconfig vars:

$ scripts/checkunknowndefines.sh arch/i386/boot/
arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_400_HACK
arch/i386/boot/video-vga.c uses undefined symbol VIDEO_400_HACK
arch/i386/boot/video.c uses undefined symbol VIDEO_RETAIN
arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_RETAIN
arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_SVGA
arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_VESA
arch/i386/boot/video-vesa.c uses undefined symbol VIDEO_VESA

Hope you can merge this in -mm and use it frequently (probably, a script to look for
regressions in its output is useful). It should also be mentioned in
SubmittingPatches if you agree.
