That's fine, but you aren't actually changing the functionality of any
of the build options here. You are just adding a 'menu' and showing
things a bit differently. You aren't changing any dependancies (which
is what dictates what is and is not built), which does not make it
easier, or harder, to disable/enable anything here.

I'm not against this, but you need to explain it a lot better as to what
you are doing and why. The "why" isn't covered by the "this will make
the kernel build smaller", as that's just not true :)

thanks,
