Hello list,

the following patch series turns some menus into menuconfigs, so they
can be disabled whilst "walking" thorugh the parent menu (check the
videos [1], [2] to see what I mean), enabling for disabling lots of
options _quickly_.

I'll send the patches (as a reply to this mail) piece by piece out
when I figure out the maintainers to Cc for each.

I have not poked on all subsystems (it is quite a lot), but I can
already give a glimpse (`ls -1`) of who gets one and who does not.
And, I am not completely finished changing some subsystems - but
the patches are already big enough for a first wave. I want to get
some feedback first. Thanks!
