kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets
The variable K64BIT can now be used to select the value of CONFIG_64BIT. This is for example useful for powerpc to generate allmodconfig for both bit sizes - like this: make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=y make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=n To use this the Kconfig file must use "64BIT" as the config value to select between 32 and 64 bit.

NOTES on "make config":
- having unnecessary drivers will make the kernel bigger, and can
