But this affects other things than simply bloat features, like:

select HAVE_AOUT if X86_32
select HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
select HAVE_IDE
select HAVE_GENERIC_DMA_COHERENT if X86_32
select HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS

Having an option that lets EMBEDDED turn off some of the above might be
confusing.
