Incidentally, I have this experimental patch in my endless 'randconfig'
queue of things to do properly at a later point.
The idea is to let a person building a kernel intentionally do a
number of things that result in a not-quite-multiplatform configuration
when CONFIG_BROKEN_MULTIPLATFORM is disabled.

The main intention is allow NOMMU builds on platforms that are already
converted to multiplatform, and to prevent people from accidentally
turning on DEBUG_LL, as that breaks all other machines. A couple of
other things are in the same category.
