| yes. I'd like to see it this way:
|
| Changes from version 2:
| 1. Early Printk should not depend on EMBEDDED
| 2. change "if foobar" to "depend on"

These mean the same thing to the config software, so I don't
care which way it's done.

| 3. remove endif's superfluous because of 2.
| 4. Move KALLSYMS some places lower

Then let's move KALLSYMS to the very end of the menu.
At the very least it should be after the last "depends on
DEBUG_KERNEL" entry, but it still interferes with that
dependency chain as either of us has it.

| 5. Add some more "depend on DEBUG_KERNEL" to indent the menu
| 6. Remove trailing new lines in some arch specific Kconfig.debug
| 7. move depends on DEBUG_KERNEL for arch/m68k/Kconfig.debug to
| the menu so you only see that menu if you select DEBUG_KERNEL
| You can't select anything there if DEBUG_KERNEL is N.

Maybe do the same for parisc and s390, so that they don't show up
at all?

sparc is the same way: only entry(s) depend on DEBUG_KERNEL.
Same for x86_64.

However, I did it that way for "future-proofing". Makes it
easy for someone to add an entry without having to think about
higher-level parameters/values etc.

| Comments?

Yes... and you?
