Dave, Boris, thanks for your review and feedback. I have now sent you
a new patch series to remove it from the prompt and remove it entirely
as two patches, so you can choose which option to take now. In the
end, all of this serves my overall goal of reducing the number of
configs and removing CONFIG_EMBEDDED very well.
