Apparently it wouldn't, because nothing defines that macro anywhere 
anyway. CONFIG_HNS_ENET, on the other hand, would be available by virtue 
of autoconf.h which is just about everywhere.

Agreed - we already have per-arch overrides scattered about, so growing 
special cases in yet another place just makes even more of a mess. 
Rounding all of it up into Kconfig would definitely make sense.
