It's of course preferable to present the config options in their logical
order, but 'make config' can deal with it anyway, at the end it rechecks
the config and it will restart the section, if it doesn't it's a bug.
I tried it here and it works fine, so if there is a problem I need some
instruction to reproduce it.
