Subject[PATCH] Allows Kernel developer to change optimization options making code more debug friendly.
Date
New menu under kernel hacking allows to force "-01" optimization
and gives ability to discard additional optimizations (passed
with -O1). Options are added as "-f-no-..." to GCC invoke line.
This make cause to produce additional warnings, but makes compiled
code more debug friendly.

Included new Makefile and new KConfig has been automaticly generated
by simple bash script scripts/debug/make_config_optim.sh, which
is included to simple add or remove new options.

Some options are sepcific to GCC version.
