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.

DECnet configuration
config DECNET tristate "DECnet Support" ---help--- The DECnet networking protocol was used in many products made by Digital (now Compaq). It provides reliable stream and sequenced packet communications over which run a variety of services similar to those which run over TCP/IP.
To find some tools to use with the kernel layer support, please
look at Patrick Caulfield's web site:
<http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/>.
More detailed documentation is available in
<file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt>.
Be sure to say Y to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support"
below when using DECnet, since you will need sysctl support to aid
in configuration at run time.
The DECnet code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module is called decnet.
config DECNET_ROUTER bool "DECnet: router support (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on DECNET && EXPERIMENTAL ---help--- Add support for turning your DECnet Endnode into a level 1 or 2 router. This is an experimental, but functional option. If you do say Y here, then make sure that you also say Y to "Kernel/User network link driver", "Routing messages" and "Network packet filtering". The first two are required to allow configuration via rtnetlink (you will need Alexey Kuznetsov's iproute2 package from ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/). The "Network packet filtering" option will be required for the forthcoming routing daemon to work.
See <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt> for more information.
config DECNET_ROUTE_FWMARK bool "DECnet: use FWMARK value as routing key (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on DECNET_ROUTER && NETFILTER help If you say Y here, you will be able to specify different routes for packets with different FWMARK ("firewalling mark") values (see ipchains(8), "-m" argument).
