That's possible, if the new Kconfig option is really undesirable.  But
given that there's a similar DWARF4 option, which this pairs well with,
I thought a VTA option was a good choice.

Besides 4.9.2 though, this particular fix has also been backported to
4.8.4, and who knows what various distro maintainers may do.
