I'm not planning to try and further fiddle with those symbols. A
simple revert is not possible as CONFIG_SYS_EXTRA_OPTIONS is gone. I
assume that Marek will be picking up your PowerPC patches at this point,
so any further work you're doing in that area shouldn't be delayed.
I'll put re-examining this on my TODO list, but it's below finishing my
CONFIG_SYS_* audit, and then renaming stuff to CFG_SYS.

You should fix whatever platforms you have access to and ignore the
rest, I feel likely to be removing most of them shortly at this point.
