There is 2 patches which fixes that by adding to the kconfig language
a "visible" property to menus, 1 revert of "another" solution (which
works but does not scale) and 2 patch which makes usage of the new
property. Ack-ed and complemented by Mauro, but still waiting
review/blessing by Michal.

The core change is available here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/306412/

Alternatively, if you don't care about the menu structure, Randy
proposed a one-liner.
