I really don't know, BUT, questions of this sort can be answered by
looking at the Config.in file.  Its root will be found in .../arch/your
arch/Config.in.  It may include (source) other files which may in turn
source still more, but in there is the whole of the configuration with
all it options.  The syntax is really quite easy to follow.  Have fun.
