Yet another major rework of the BusyBox config system, using the considerably modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc. With this, there should be no more need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the config system. I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may have made some mistakes, so watch closely. -Erik

Patch from Steven Scholz: should we rename the define into CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DMA and use it for "set" and "get" ??? Since although CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GET_DMA is _not_ set I still can use "hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda" to switch the DMA on. Is this desireable or meant to be like that? So how about the applied patch?
