I do not think I like this. SMP, kernel preemption, and high memory
support are the three most fundamental choices one makes during
configuration.

They should be out in the open, in the beginning, in a well-labeled
category. They only issue I see is "processor options" should be
renamed "core options" or whatever. But that is trivial.
