The entire list is at scripts/config_whitelist.txt and I just used `git
grep -Ovim ...` and removed by hand.

I don't bother because there's so many conflicts and it's a generated
by scripts/build-whitelist.sh

Yes, finishing the migration of CONFIG_SYS_EXTRA_OPTIONS is also on the
list.  I'm just running down the list looking for chunks of symbols that
hopefully aren't in the categories of:
- Abusing tests for CONFIG_SPL_BUILD to set/unset based on SPL build or
  not.
- Sometimes a value, sometimes a function name.
- Some other kind of game cpp lets you do, but that's not so easy to
  move to Kconfig.
