Subject[patch 43/43] menu: fix embedded menu snafu
2.6.28-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

commit b943c460ff8556a193b28e2145b513f8b978e869 upstream.

The COMPAT_BRK kconfig symbol does not depend on EMBEDDED, but it is in
the midst of the EMBEDDED menu symbols, so it mucks up the EMBEDDED menu.
Fix by moving it to just after all of the EMBEDDED menu symbols. Also,
ANON_INODES has a similar problem, so move it to just above the EMBEDDED
menu items since it is used in the EMBEDDED menu.
