I'm not familiar at all with the U-Boot "sandbox" architecture, so I'd 
prefer
to leave that to someone else.

Thanks, I'll fix that.

Yes, that Kconfig vs. "legacy" options battle is a bit of a problem. If it

CONFIG_SYS_EXTRA_OPTIONS as an alternative approach, and leave that Kconfig
migration for the future. Which do you prefer?
