Yes. It is removed from the kernel. However, selftests from the latest
release do get run routinely on older stable releases. Dropping the
config will impact coverage on older releases.

Any ideas on what we should do about this. On one hand it is a good idea
to remove it, however my concern is coverage on older releases.
