Subjectmore observations on 2.5 config menus

based on 2.5.53 with the absolute latest tagged-to-head.v2.5
stuff:

Fusion MPT device support

and ... where's the contents of that menu entry?

Character devices -> Serial drivers

Entry "Non-8250 serial port support" -- what is that entry
doing there? it has no submenu and is not selectable. I've
noticed entries like this being used as comments in the
*middle* of menu lists, but this doesn't appear to have
any value here. I recall at least one other example like
that somewhere.

Loadable module support

Still curious about whether it makes sense to deselect
"Module unloading" while being able to select "Forced module
unloading"

Power management options (ACPI, APM)

Based on that menu label, which suggests that ACPI and
APM are equally viable options to select for power
management, it's confusing that you can deselect
"Power management support", and yet *still* have to
explicitly deselect ACPI support beyond that.

USB support -> USB Mass Storage support

It might be helpful for the help screen for that entry
to explicitly list USB zip drives, just in case anyone
wasn't sure. Picky, yes.

Plug and play support

The help screen is ambiguous when it states, toward the
bottom, "Alternatively, you can say N here ..." "N" to which
of the above? The entire option? Or each of the suboptions?
That can be read either way.
