Got it, in which case I would drop the "primarily" from the comment,
since that suggests it is defined "secondarily" here, when really it is
just for documentation (with a clever trick to stop the docs getting
out of date).

Maybe even:

/* Note SPL_STACK_R_ADDR is set through Kconfig, we include it here 
 * since it needs to fit in with the other values. By also #defining it
 * we get warnings if the Kconfig value mismatches. */

???

(And presumably this all gets less mad as more and more stuff moves to
Kconfig...)

Ian.
