Subject: [PATCH] Fix Irq Subsystem menu

	Hi;

	In menuconfig, General setup -> Irq subsystem contains two
possible menu-items. Sometimes, neither menu-item exists. This
patch prevents the Irq susystem menu from appearing at all unless it
will contain at least one menu-item, preventing a confusing, empty menu.
