Where the Kconfig is vs. where the menu appears are 2 different things
though. The latest kernel has our own Kconfig in fs/xfs, and fs/Kconfig
just does:

source "fs/xfs/Kconfig"

This does facilitate swapping in a devel version of fs/xfs via a
symlink, etc.

However, fs/xfs/Kconfig does still start with

menu "XFS support"

which puts it in a submenu, unlike every other fs.

I have no problem with removing the submenu.
