Before this patch, the code would fall back to a file named
all{no,yes,mod,def,random}.config and then to all.config. Now you require
$KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG to always be a file. I suggest we keep the fallback at
least for KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=1, like this:


diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/conf.c b/scripts/kconfig/conf.c

And update Documentation/kbuild/kconfig.txt.
