Harmonization being done for whom?

Because I doubt users read Kconfig names. So you must be wanting it for
us, who do stare at that code.

Which brings me to my initial question from uptread:

"What does the same namespace give you? So you see in the code a bunch
of ifdeffery and some or all of them have CONFIG_MITIGATION_ prepended.
To me it doesn't matter whether they're mitigations or not - it is just
the next Kconfig symbol."

IOW, I don't see the particular reason for having those namespaced. But
since you and Josh care so much and I don't - not that much :-) - and
I definitely won't be doing the work, feel free.

Thx.
