I do request more line-breaks when I review patches. It's not that often
that I think we need urgent changes. But defining a good default in some
way makes sense.

So vim detect the file format for kconfig without any help. But I don't
mind adding it explicitly.

For 'noet ts=8 sw=8' we could also create a editorconfig file. That would
work with more editors (with the appropriate plugins).

Lets do tw=80 for the .in files and no width limit (for now) for the .make
files.
