The ARM, HPPA and RISC-V architectures don't declare any fw_cfg
specific key. To simplify the buildsys machinery and allow building
QEMU without the fw_cfg device (in the next commit), first add a
per-architecture empty stub defining the fw_cfg_arch_key_name().

Update the MAINTAINERS section to cover the various target-specific
fw_cfg.c files.

So, I haven't commented on the Kconfig symbol wrangling yet (my comment
would be a blanket "Acked-by" anyway... sorry, not really my cup of
tea), but at this point:

I don't understand why we need to add *more code* (stubs / boilerplate)
if our goal is (apparently) to build QEMU with *fewer* devices.

Sorry for being dense. My total knowledge about stubs in QEMU is this:
for some QMP methods (and for some QGA methods, dependent on OS), we
need stubs. When they are invoked, they report "sorry, not implemented".
That's it: all I know about stubs.

So... the commit message here says "simplify the buildsys", and the next
commit message says, paraphrased, "don't build fw_cfg unless we need it"
-- but why does that require more C-language code? It seems like we have
some function *calls* that shouldn't exist in an fw-cfg-less machine, in
the first place.

Again, sorry, I'm totally dense on this.

Thanks
Laszlo

Eh no problem, I don't like this neither.

If you don't mind I'll reply in the patch 7/7.
