I've been bitten by this numerous times.  I most often
use ftrace on ARM, but when I go back to x86, I almost
always go through a sequence of searching for the
function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's
completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.

Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be
unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled?  I'm
not a Kconfig guru...
