Subject: [PATCH] Added hacking menu for override optimization by GCC.
New menu under kernel hacking allows to force "-01" optimization
and gives ability to discard additional optimizations (implicite
passed with -O1). Options are added as "-f-no-..." to GCC invoke line.
This may produce additional warnings, but makes compiled code more debug
friendly.
Patch is integrated with main Makefile. It generates additional KConfig
and Makefile from script so sources are keep clean. Adding
additional deopitmization option, requires appending, just, one line
in script.
Some options are specific to pariticullar GCC versions.
