largest part of "badref" config variables now updated


the lion's share of finding badref CONFIG variables is now done,
these two subpages:

http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Badref_CONFIG_variables#arch.2F
http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Badref_CONFIG_variables#drivers.2F

the rest of this page:

http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Badref_CONFIG_variables

will be updated later today. just to refresh memories, those wiki
pages identify variables that are being tested, but are not being
defined in any Kconfig file anywhere. here's an example:

drivers/input/serio/i8042-ppcio.h:55:#elif defined(CONFIG_SPRUCE)

so that header file is testing CONFIG_SPRUCE when there's no such
variable. another example:

drivers/ssb/main.c:497:#ifdef CONFIG_SSB_SDIO

(perhaps that should be testing CONFIG_SSB_SDIOHOST?)

you get the idea. and, yes, you really should take the time to
examine your favourite subsystem, because if you end up wasting hours
tracking down a bug, won't you feel silly once you realize it was
identified months ago and listed at my wiki page? :-)

    ... The other day while trying to look for some information on the wiki, I got very disappointed with the way the information was organized. ... The concept of subpages evolved from the need to order articles hierarchically.However after the category system was introduced, this became redundant as organisation of information is in itself a non-linear idea and the use of categories is simply much more efficient in that regard. ... that the search function could be made more effective if we stop using subpages in the 'Main:' namespace? ... Moreover since a wiki is after all a free-form source of information, wouldn't it be more logical to rely on the category system to organise the information rather than force some hierarchy by the use of subpages? ...
