The best thing right now in such cases is to use menuconfig/xconfig and 
actually look at it. xconfig can even show the hidden entries, so it's 
also easier to answer why some entry isn't becoming a child entry.
I can provide a technical explanation of what's happening, but it's likely 
to be even more confusing, I really have no good idea on how to translate 
what is quite easily visible in xconfig to actual written documentation.
