[NET]: move config options out to individual protocols
Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols.
With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a
good basis for further re-structuring.
The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is
fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several
"depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair.
Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are
small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed
out where they belongs.

9 | X.25 is a set of standardized network protocols, similar in scope to | ||
10 | frame relay; the one physical line from your box to the X.25 network | ||
11 | entry point can carry several logical point-to-point connections | ||
12 | (called "virtual circuits") to other computers connected to the X.25 | ||
13 | network. Governments, banks, and other organizations tend to use it | ||
14 | to connect to each other or to form Wide Area Networks (WANs). Many | ||
15 | countries have public X.25 networks. X.25 consists of two | ||
16 | protocols: the higher level Packet Layer Protocol (PLP) (say Y here | ||
17 | if you want that) and the lower level data link layer protocol LAPB | ||
18 | (say Y to "LAPB Data Link Driver" below if you want that). | ||
19 | |||
20 | You can read more about X.25 at <http://www.sangoma.com/x25.htm> and | ||
21 | <http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios11/cbook/cx25.htm>. | ||
22 | Information about X.25 for Linux is contained in the files | ||
23 | <file:Documentation/networking/x25.txt> and | ||
24 | <file:Documentation/networking/x25-iface.txt>. | ||
25 | |||
26 | One connects to an X.25 network either with a dedicated network card | ||
27 | using the X.21 protocol (not yet supported by Linux) or one can do | ||
28 | X.25 over a standard telephone line using an ordinary modem (say Y | ||
29 | to "X.25 async driver" below) or over Ethernet using an ordinary | ||
30 | Ethernet card and the LAPB over Ethernet (say Y to "LAPB Data Link | ||
31 | Driver" and "LAPB over Ethernet driver" below). | ||
32 | |||
33 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module | ||
34 | will be called x25. If unsure, say N. | ||
