I know.  I ran all 4 of menuconfig, nconfig, xconfig, and gconfig.

I would prefer to see Memory Management options have its own top-level
menu, but that's a different patch.  Then menuconfig would look like this:



â â        *** Compiler: arc-linux-gcc (GCC) 8.1.0 ***                  â â  
  â â        General setup  --->                                          â â  
  â â    [*] Enable loadable module support  --->                         â â  
  â â    [*] Enable the block layer  --->                                 â â  
  â â        ARC Architecture Configuration  --->                         â â  
  â â        Memory Management options  --->                              â â  
  â â    (11) Maximum zone order                                          â â  
  â â    [*] Networking support  --->                                     â â  
  â â        Device Drivers  --->                                         â â  
  â â        Bus Support  ---> 


but that "Maximum zone order" needs to be moved or taken care of somehow.
