[kconfig][RFC] getting things like CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER without bothering with selects

From: Al Viro

Sometimes we have situations when we want linux/foo.h
include asm/bar.h if the latter exists; one example is
includes of asm/syscall_wrapper.h. Right now there are two
ways to do that:
1) ARCH_HAS_BAR_H, explicitly selected by architectures
that have asm/bar.h and include guarded by #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_BAR_H
2) include/asm-default/bar.h, either empty or with
something like #define __ARCH_HAS_NO_BAR_H, with mandatory-y += bar.h
in include/asm-generic/Kbuild and unconditional includes of asm/bar.h,
possibly followed by #ifdef __ARCH_HAS_NO_BAR_H ... #endif

However, kconfig could do (1) without selects - something like
bool ARCH_HAS_BAR_H
def_bool $(header-exists,bar.h)

Does anybody see problems with the patch below?
