This does not move anything (at least I think), it just change the
already existing submenu into a menuconfig, which you can
choose to disable as a whole, which disable everything inside
that menuconfig. Maybe there are side effects visible outside
of this menu.

That's right, and I'm willing to tackle at least a part of this
problem, first by making it easier to disable whole chunks
at once.

OK that was an oversight, I'll revisit later (going for the low
hanging fruits). But this is moot anyways, you should drop
that patch because it introduces new compile warnings on
ARM.
