  in that case, if you wanted to configure "CPM SCC Ethernet", why
would you go under "MPC8xx CPM Options" rather than the general
networking menu?  this is clearly inconsistent.

Because the CPM1/CPM2 enet drivers are still waiting to be cleaned up a
bit more, and moved there.  The FEC enet driver that Pantelis wrote
lives in drivers/net/ for example.

ok, that's cool.

  more to the point, i've always found it a bit strange that selecting
"8xx" as a processor would suddenly cause the top-level "MPC8xx CPM
Options" menu to appear, when other 8xx-related stuff was still
scattered elswewhere throughout the kernel source tree.

That's kinda the opposite direction of where I want things to move.

i wasn't really arguing for any *particular* rearrangement, just 
arguing for *some* rearrangement that would be more consistent in 
terms of layout, that's all.  and it sounds like it's already 
underway, so i'll shut up about it now.
