Subject[PATCH 0/2] Kconfig: -O3 enablement
Date
Hi,

This very small series allows -O3 to be used for all architectures. The
first patch marks -O3 as experimental, with the reasoning being that it
might expose unwanted regressions to users, and the second patch
actually allows -O3 by removing the "depend on ARC" string.

The reasoning behind this series is to open up -O3 so that bugs related
to it (both compiler-related and kernel-related) can be discovered by
eyeballs wanting to improve the "-O3 experience," as that might be
beneficial to both compilers and the kernel. This has been attempted
before [1], but unfortunately nothing ever came of it.
