um: clean Kconfig up a bit

* kill duplicates with drivers/char/Kconfig
* take watchdog one into drivers/watchdog/Kconfig
* take mmapper to arch/um/Kconfig.um
* rename Kconfig.char menu to "UML Character Devices"

config UNIX98_PTYS
bool "Unix98 PTY support"
help
A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
and xterms.
Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys. Say Y unless
you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.

Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx

security. This option enables these legacy devices; on most
systems, it is safe to say N.
config RAW_DRIVER
tristate "RAW driver (/dev/raw/rawN)"
depends on BLOCK
help
The raw driver permits block devices to be bound to /dev/raw/rawN.
Once bound, I/O against /dev/raw/rawN uses efficient zero-copy I/O.
See the raw(8) manpage for more details.
Applications should preferably open the device (eg /dev/hda1)
with the O_DIRECT flag.

Default is 256. Increase this number in case you need lots of
raw devices.

help
The maximum number of legacy PTYs that can be used at any one time.
The default is 256, and should be more than enough. Embedded
systems may want to reduce this to save memory.
When not in use, each legacy PTY occupies 12 bytes on 32-bit
architectures and 24 bytes on 64-bit architectures.

tristate "Hardware random number generator"
help
This option enables UML's "hardware" random number generator. It
attaches itself to the host's /dev/random, supplying as much entropy
as the host has, rather than the small amount the UML gets from its
own drivers. It registers itself as a standard hardware random number
generator, major 10, minor 183, and the canonical device name is
/dev/hwrng.
The way to make use of this is to install the rng-tools package
(check your distro, or download from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/). rngd periodically reads
/dev/hwrng and injects the entropy into /dev/random.
