That help message is a bit confusing IMO.  Does setting/enabling OMAYEXEC_STATIC
both enforce O_MAYEXEC at build time and also disable the dedicated sysctl?

Or are these meant to be alternatives, one for what Enabling this kconfig symbol
does and the other for what Disabling this symbol does?  If so, it doesn't
say that.
