This doesn't work as advertised when I graft it on top of
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/init-kconfig-make-expert-as-config-instead-of-menuconfig.patch
(generally, assuming that next==mainline when we're at -rc8 is a low
percentage move).

I think I'll drop
init-kconfig-make-expert-as-config-instead-of-menuconfig.patch and take
this one, but could everyone please review everything?
