There is an "instrumentation menu removal" patchset I've submitted to
Andrew for the next release cycle that moves the instrumentation menu
content into General setup (I did this following your advice).

Furthermore, on ARM, the OPROFILE_ARMV6, OPROFILE_MPCORE and
OPROFILE_ARM11_CORE are all "bool , default y" (equivalent to the
preferred def_bool y). Unless I am grossly mistaken, this is not
supposed to show up in the menus; it's just selected when the
dependencies are met.
