Why just for linux and not for all kconfig based packages ? Why <foo>-update-defconfig and not <foo>-update-config ?

Here are the reasons:
- update-defconfig doesn't exist for all kconfig packages
- update-defconfig is preferred if it exists (for Linux I certainly see no reason to ever use update-config)
- documenting foo-update-defconfig would perhaps be better, but that's part of a bigger change that would completely remove all the specifics. When I did the 'make help' patches I started on that, but it turns out to be a bit more work so I dropped it in the end.

Arnout

Hm, well, I'm still not highly convinced on how we handle this per-package target help text. But anyway, applied, as it isn't that worse than what we have today.
