Do it in the platform. But the folder names differ. The *.make files should=
 be =

still in the rules/ directory inside the platform directory, but the =

corresponding *.in file must be located in the platforms/ directory.

So, if your platform is located in configs/platform-myboard/ the kernel rul=
es =

must be located in:

configs/platform-myboard/platforms/kernel.in
configs/platform-myboard/rules/kernel.make

Happy hacking
