Adding help text would be... helpful. :)

The net result in this case was the addition of a completely-unexplained Kconfig option late in 2.6.31-rc.

Maybe the x86 maintainers could help see that they don't push unexplained Kconfig options upstream -- particularly ones we are asked to enable by default?
