Should probably be == not &, since in this new arrangement it is
really more of an enum than a bit flags... A switch would be OK here
too

It seems reasonable to me to throw a warn, it signals to a future
developer that kbuild is not working right.

I think it is just an enum of overrides, no reason to make it one hot
encoded. Previously when it was flags the bit encode had a certain
amount of logic, but no longer.
