I do not mind either way.

Please note "depends on X86_64" cannot prevent gcc
from running here.

$(as-instr,wrussq %rax$(comma)(%rbx)) is replaced with 'y'
while parsing the Kconfig files.

I want to change it in the future, but that is how Kconfig works now.

You don't save the cost of running the compiler.
