That was easier than I expected. Here's an updated version of the patch.

It now finds the symbol EMBEDDED, saves its state. Updates its state to 
'yes', runs the tests, resets its state back to what it was.

Now all I get from that previous config:

$ make menuconfig
scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/x86/Kconfig
.config:2561:warning: SCSI_SAS_LIBSAS selects SCSI_SAS_ATTRS which fails its dependencies!
.config:2561:warning: DRM selects I2C_ALGOBIT which fails its dependencies!

Hmm, that I2C_ALGOBIT depends on I2C_HELPER_AUTO, which looks similar to 
the EMBEDDED option. That is, Don't show this option unless this is not 
selected. I may just add a 'WHITELIST' of things that will be enabled 
during thet test.

But the SCSI_SAS_ATTRS depends on BLK_DEV_BSG which is not selected.


I also added to run the test on write as well.

But having it find the culprits will require a bit more that 5 minutes of
work. That will stay on my TODO list for now.
