In looking at trying to replace defconfigs with kconfig fragments,
one limitation identified is that config items in choice blocks
cannot be selected by other config options.

One way to doge this would be to create non-visible meta options
that change the choice block's default, but that would require
additional meta-configs per-choice config, plus a conditional
default per meta-config. That just seemed too ugly.

So I looked into how to allow the choice default to be overrided
by a select statment, and the following patch is the result.

I'm very new to kconfig code, so I expect that my changes are
probably broken in some subtle way, but in my testing it seems
to work. The select only chagnes the default, which can be overrided
by the user via the menu. This allows kconfig fragments to work
for make defconfig, while not restricting user customization.

Thoughts and feedback (or alternate approaches) would be appreciated.

thanks
