hm, indeed.

Still ... the Kconfig glue looks a bit weird - it's almost never a 
good idea to put 'NOT' (or any other logic operator) into a config 
name. Why not make this CONFIG_STANDARD_X86_FEATURES and allow it to 
be disabled when CONFIG_EMBEDDED is enabled? This way it's not just a 
debug thing but also a kernel sizing feature.
