Thanks, Dave, for your feedback.
The commit message is so lengthy, as I copied it from the original
cover letter into each commit, but I agree with your feedback.
So maybe this commit message fits better:
To simplify build configurations, the CONFIG_EMBEDDED is to be
removed. All configs that are only visible with CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y
shall be now visible with CONFIG_EXPERT=y.
In the x86 architecture, the config X86_FEATURE_NAMES is visible when
CONFIG_EMBEDDED is enabled. Now, make the config X86_FEATURE_NAMES
visible when CONFIG_EXPERT is enabled.
Dave, what do you think? If that is good enough for you, I will send
an updated patch with that commit message.
Lukas
