I know.  I ran all 4 of menuconfig, nconfig, xconfig, and gconfig.

I would prefer to see Memory Management options have its own top-level
menu, but that's a different patch.  Then menuconfig would look like this:



│ │        *** Compiler: arc-linux-gcc (GCC) 8.1.0 ***                  │ │  
  │ │        General setup  --->                                          │ │

but that "Maximum zone order" needs to be moved or taken care of somehow.
