Moving options around (which is the majority of what this patch does)
is not cruftyness.  It's a fact of life that changes to the Kconfig
files change the order of configuration options all the time.  It's
got nothing to do with the order that the options appear.  Just adding
another dependency can change the ordering.

I've no problem with adding and removing options where it's appropriate
to do so.  What I have a problem with is all the needless churn such as
in this patch, where options are moved from one place to another without
any benefit what so ever.
