SubjectRe: [PATCH] kconfig.h: remove config_enabled() macro

Masahiro,

A few comments regarding, I guess, future work.

There are about a dozen instances of IS_ENABLED() that target something
other than a kconfig macros. Are you planning to convert those to
__is_defined() too?

Is there a reason to keep using the double underscore prefix?

__is_defined() is now meant to be used generally, and not just on
kconfig macros. Can it be moved into another header?
