I like the idea of having a LINT kernel (or some way to obtain it), but
those files strike me as the wrong way to do it.

I'd rather see config(1) generates a LINT file with all possible
options stuffed in.  It is foolish to expect people to maintain this
bunch of files sprinkled all around the tree.

LINT will not be meant to be booted, so config(1) may very well
generate it, issueing starred instances definitions for all devices it
finds, even though it makes little sense (and just plain doesn't work)
for ISA devices and the like.  The point is to compile every possible
driver for a given arch, so config(1) ought to parse everything and
spits out the resulting configuration.

I'm willing to help with the details, but I really object to those
lint.* files which will rot faster than it takes to write them.
