Why?

Kernel hacking is a inscrutable mess where you can waste a lot of time to
find what you are looking for.

If I want to debug interrupts then having the option right there where all
other interrupt related configuration is makes tons of sense.

I would be less opposed to this when the kernel hacking menu would be
halfways well structured, but you just chose another random place for that
option which is worse than what we have now.
