Picked some outdated address from Masahiro, so once again:

I don't like this very much.

Generally being able to do this is really appealing:

        if (__is_defined(DEBUG))
                ...

Indeed this is so appealing that others may copy this. Having to
remember then that there's a subtle difference between __is_defined() and
#ifdef is not so nice though.

We could add

#define __ARG_PLACEHOLDER_ 0,

to include/linux/kconfig.h. With this __is_defined() and #ifdef should
do the same thing. It would even better to add this to the Linux
upstream version of this file. I am not sure though if that has any
unwanted side effects. Masahiro, do you have an opinion about this?

Another option would be to add this somewhere:

#ifdef DEBUG
#undef DEBUG
#define DEBUG 1
#endif
