This is the only one that gives me qualms.  While there are other
CONFIG options mentioned in types.h they're properties of the platform,
eg CONFIG_HAVE_UID16, CONFIG_64BIT, CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT, etc.
I dislike it that changing this CONFIG option is going to result in
rebuilding the _entire_ kernel.  CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM just isn't that
central to how everything works.
