BTW, each commit adding such options is supposed to explain why there
are needed, so please go to the git log and answer yourself why there
are there. I am pretty sure I will ack/review removal of every option
added without answering "why".

Don't twist the discussion of necessity of Kconfig options, because each
commit should stand on its own.
