I realize you only do what is already being done, but I question this
way of doing things when the scope is tools-only. Any CONFIG_* put here
cannot have an identically named, but potentially set differently
Kconfig setting in xen/: Any use of such in a Makefile could end up being
wrong, and would pretty surely end up being confusing.
