I'd agree with all that. I've updated the initial patch thusly:
General setup ---> [*] Remove kernel features for embedded systems Removable kernel features for embedded systems ---> [ ] Enable futex support
So enabling CONFIG_EMBEDDED causes the user to be offered CONFIG_FUTEX, and there are appropriate stern warnings everywhere.
