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  --->                                          │ │  
  │ │    [*] Enable loadable module support  --->                         │ │  
  │ │    [*] Enable the block layer  --->                                 │ │  
  │ │        ARC Architecture Configuration  --->                         │ │  
  │ │        Memory Management options  --->                              │ │  
  │ │    (11) Maximum zone order                                          │ │  
  │ │    [*] Networking support  --->                                     │ │  
  │ │        Device Drivers  --->                                         │ │  
  │ │        Bus Support  ---> 


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