Configuration Component or Configuration by Component

[Sebastian Huber]

Hello,

I would like to use the RTEMS application configuration (confdefs.h) to 
start with the RTEMS specification. The reasons are:

* At the bottom level it is quite simple, you evaluate C preprocessor 
defines and generated data structure initializations from it.

* There is a great potential for high level test specifications, e.g. 
test minimum, default, maximum, etc. values.

* The documentation of individual items is well structured:

https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/c-user/configuring_a_system.html

However, the structure is enforced by copy and paste. The documentation 
can be included in the specification items and *.rst files can be 
generated from them. This decouples the specification and the presentation.

I am not sure if the application configuration should be done as a 
separate component, e.g. gather all items in

spec/config/*.yml

or if it should be done inside each component, e.g. add

RTEMS-*-CFG*.yml

items to each manager?

Independent of the organization, each configuration item will have a 
dedicated specification "type" attribute value, e.g. "configuration".
