I would think that SWAP would belong with PREEMPT, since they are both global characteristics of the o/s. Those who care can argue where that should be.
I could believe that SMP would belong in the same place, since it's a global option not specific to a single architecture. Any of these could be greyed out or undisplayed for the few architechtures which don't support them.
There are arguably others.
