We seem to be talking about different lines above.  Yes, the files
are empty, but they are named based on the CONFIG_symbol name, which
is what I was trying to get at.  So how about a comment like this:

 * To be exact, split-include populates a tree in include/config/,
 * e.g., include/config/sysctl/syscall.h,
 * for the CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL option, when that option
 * is enabled (=y or =m).
