Subject: [GIT] kconfig rc fixes

Hi Linus,

I have three fixes that should ideally go into 2.6.36:

1) Kyle's make oldnoconfig fix: make oldnoconfig was added and later got
   broken, all in 2.6.36-rc1.
2) Arnaud's fix for a crash in kconfig caused by a use-after-free bug.
   This fix has the unfortunate side effect that most configurations
   (e.g. make defconfig on x86) start printing warnings several lines
   long. These warnings are valid, but were not detected before. To
   avoid receiving tens of reports about this once 2.6.36 is out, I
   decided to comment out the warnings completely for the final release,
   as there is not enough time to fix the root causes.

Please consider for 2.6.36. Or if you are only willing to take either 1)
or 2), let me know and I'll prepare such branch.

Thanks,
Michal
