That message should _never_ appear to a user. Anyone who wants to
gratuitously change that can write a suitable help text.

Actually I'm hoping that CML2, if adopted, will allow us to get rid of the 
CONFIG_MEMORY_SET cruft in arch/sh/config.in altogether. 

But not, of course, until after the initial adoption of the CML2 codebase -
actual changes to the behaviour of the config options _must_ be done 
separately to the change in mechanism.
