Subject[PATCH 1/2] x86: make X86_FEATURE_NAMES non-configurable in prompt
Date
While discussing to change the visibility of X86_FEATURE_NAMES (see Link)
in order to remove CONFIG_EMBEDDED, Boris suggested to simply make the
X86_FEATURE_NAMES functionality unconditional.

As a first step, make X86_FEATURE_NAMES disappear in the config prompt. So,
as X86_FEATURE_NAMES defaults to yes, to disable it, one now needs to
modify the .config file before compiling the kernel.

If there are no complaints on this config after a grace period, we can then
further remove the config entirely.
