Merge branch 'kconfig-diet' from Dave Hansen

Merge Kconfig menu diet patches from Dave Hansen:
 "I think the "Kernel Hacking" menu has gotten a bit out of hand.  It is
  over 120 lines long on my system with everything enabled and options
  are scattered around it haphazardly.

        http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/kconfig-horror.png

  Let's try to introduce some sanity.  This set takes that 120 lines
  down to 55 and makes it vastly easier to find some things.  It's a
  start.

  This set stands on its own, but there is plenty of room for follow-up
  patches.  The arch-specific debug options still end up getting stuck
  in the top-level "kernel hacking" menu.  OPTIMIZE_INLINING, for
  instance, could obviously go in to the "compiler options" menu, but
  the fact that it is defined in arch/ in a separate Kconfig file keeps
  it on its own for the moment.

  The Signed-off-by's in here look funky.  I changed employers while
  working on this set, so I have signoffs from both email addresses"

* emailed patches from Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net>:
  hang and lockup detection menu
  kconfig: consolidate printk options
  group locking debugging options
  consolidate compilation option configs
  consolidate runtime testing configs
  order memory debugging Kconfig options
  consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging options

Say Y here if you want to check the overflows of kernel, IRQ
and exception stacks. This option will cause messages of the
stacks in detail when free stack space drops below a certain
limit.
If in doubt, say "N".
