Two reasons: (a) it seems to be that (for example) most of the if
statements in arch/ppc/config.in are concerned with embedded boards,

Well, yes, and at one point I tried to create config.in files that were
unique to the boards/peripherals that were just callouts from config.in.
That didn't last long because all of these were incorporated (not by me :-)
into config.in and other places.  I thought having these board specific
configuration files was kind of nice, kept arch/ppc/config.in cleaner,
kept the interdependencies localized to a sensible place, but I guess
someone thought different when it got merged from the development tree.

It was probably me.  One thing I want to do in the 2.5 tree is make
arch/ppc/platforms/{8xx,4xx}.in and source those from
arch/ppc/config.in, as well as move network things to network Config
files, and so on.
