Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that
even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.
This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in
carrying this any further into the future.
One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

menuconfig: let make not report error when not save configuration
Pressing ESC should cancel the yes/no dialog and return back to
the main menu, but not exit from menuconfig.

I find every time when I choice the 'NO' button at the dialog
which let me choice whether to save the configuration before exit
menuconfig, it always report the blow:
" GEN /mnt/sda7/home/build/test/Makefile
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/mconf.o
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/mconf
scripts/kconfig/mconf Kconfig
Your configuration changes were NOT saved.
make[2]: *** [menuconfig] Error 1
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2 "
This patch repair it.

I recently got bitten in the ass when pressing Ctrl-C and lost all my current
configuration changes. This patch captures SIGINT and allows the user to save
any changes.
Some code refactoring was made in order to handle the exit behavior.

Usage:
Press <Z> to show all config symbols which have prompts.
Quote Tim Bird:
| I've been bitten by this numerous times. I most often
| use ftrace on ARM, but when I go back to x86, I almost
| always go through a sequence of searching for the
| function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's
| completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.
|
| Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be
| unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled? I'm
| not a Kconfig guru...
I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test
ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are
enabled, so I enter the "Tracers" menu, and press <Z> to
see if there is any config hidden.
I also noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options",
but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not
interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be
changed by users.
Exmaple:
--- Tracers
-*- Kernel Function Tracer
- - Kernel Function Graph Tracer
[*] Interrupts-off Latency Tracer
- - Preemption-off Latency Tracer
[*] Sysprof Tracer
Here you can see 2 tracers are not selectable, and then can find
out how to make them selectable.

This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses
replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg).
Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look
interface using ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel,
form). The implementation does not depend on lxdialog, which is
currently distributed with the kernel.

Help text for certain config options is very extensive (the text
includes the names of all other options the option in question depends
on). Long lines are not wrapped, making it impossible to see the list
without scrolling horizontally.
This patch adds some logic which wraps help screen lines at word
boundaries to prevent truncating.
Tested by running
ARCH=powerpc make menuconfig O=/tmp/build
which shows that the long lines are now wrapped, and
ARCH=powerpc make xconfig O=/tmp/build
to demonstrate that it still compiles and operates as expected.

Michal Zachar <mgzachar@mail.t-com.sk> reported that
menuconfig did not save the new config when loading
an alternate config unless he altered it manually.

Kconfig is powerfull tool. So powerfull that more and more software
projects are using it for configuration. So instead of fixing some of
them one by one, lets fix it in kernel and wait for sync.
This work was originaly done for PTXdist - GPL licensed build system for
userlands and cross-compilers, but it will not hurt kernel kconfig
either. PTXdist menuconfig now works on Windows linked with PDCurses and
compiled using MinGW - there is no termios and signals.
* Do not include <sys/wait.h> and <signal.h> (comes from times when
lxdialog was separate process)
* Do not mess with termios directly and let curses tell screen size.
Comment to commit c8dc68ad0f says
check for screen size could be removed later, but because it didn't
happen for more than year I left it here as well.
* Save cursor position added by Sam

menuconfig currently represents options implied by another option ('select'
directive in Kconfig) by prefixing them with '---'. Unfortunately the same
notation is used for comments. If the implied option is module capable,
user can still switch between Y and M, all without any feedback until she
visits option's help. (try saying M to MAC80211 and then toggling
CFG80211)
This patch changes notation of selected-by-another items by introducing 2
new representations for implied options: {*} or {M} for options selected by
another modularized one, thus builtin or module capable, -*- or -M- for
options that cannot be at the moment changed by user.
The idea is to represent actual capability of the option by braces (dashes)
around and to always report actual state by * or M inside.
