Definitely a step in the right direction - thanks for doing that. A
couple of notes after staring at the new Kconfing menu:
* CONFIG_X86_X2APIC could go into "Processor Options and Features"
* We should put "Processor family (...) --->" into the main menu since
it is one of the most important ones.
* "Preemption Model" could be merged with "x86 Scheduler Options"
* Move CONFIG_SECCOMP, CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO to obscure options?
* Move CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START to "Memory and NUMA Options"
* Maybe group CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR,
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN to a separate "Kernel image options" menu.
* CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL - I don't know about this one, it certainly
doesn't fit anywhere..
Anyway, just a couple of suggestions.
Thanks.
