What about CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUGGING? We alreay have
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE.

And do we need to move it to existing configuration menu "General setup->
Compiler optimization level"? But I also want it appear in "kernel hacking"
since this is a debug option.
