I could not turn off CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT in .config directly.
The command "scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig" in Makefile
overwrites changes made to CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT in .config
file. So this is always turned on in .config if the option
TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT is set in arch/x86_64/Kconfig.debug. I may be
missing something. Any suggestions?
