Subject: 2.6.26-rc* - CONFIG_FRAME_WARN help text clarification...

I hit this during a 'make oldconfig', and had to ponder and dig through the
Makefiles to see if pre-4.4 should set it to 0, or not.

Make it clear to people who hit this in a 'make oldconfig' that it's safe to
set it so that whenever their box finally *does* get gcc 4.4, it will be used.
