Generally,

a nice idea, I like it.

A couple of notes though:

* patches 2/6 and 3/6 don't have commit messages and it would be good if
they had, even though it is obvious what the changes in there do.

* this patchset must be against some kbuild tree because it doesn't
apply against 3.5:

$ patch -p1 --dry-run -i ~/0001-menuconfig_extend_dialog_textbox_so_that_it_can_exit_on_arbitrary_keypresses.patch
