Looks cleaner than what we had before, but I have a naming nit: CHOOSE_EXPR() is 
not something I'd be able to remember, I'd have to look it up again all the time, 
because it does not have 'config' in its name, and because 'choose' is usually 
associated with different constructs.

So how about something more intuitive, like:

		COND_CONFIG(CONFIG_PREEMPT,		" PREEMPT")
		COND_CONFIG(CONFIG_SMP,			" SMP")
		COND_CONFIG(CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,	" DEBUG_PAGEALLOC")
		COND_CONFIG(CONFIG_KASAN,		" KASAN");

or:

		IF_CONFIG(CONFIG_PREEMPT,		" PREEMPT")
		IF_CONFIG(CONFIG_SMP,			" SMP")
		IF_CONFIG(CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,	" DEBUG_PAGEALLOC")
		IF_CONFIG(CONFIG_KASAN,			" KASAN");

?

Both names are still unused in the kernel repo.

Thanks,

	Ingo
