    x86/kconfig: Consolidate unwinders into multiple choice selection · 81d38719

    There are three mutually exclusive unwinders.  Make that more obvious by
    combining them into a multiple-choice selection:
    
      CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER_UNWINDER
      CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER
      CONFIG_GUESS_UNWINDER (if CONFIG_EXPERT=y)
    
    Frame pointers are still the default (for now).
    
    The old CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER option is still used in some
    arch-independent places, so keep it around, but make it
    invisible to the user on x86 - it's now selected by
    CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER_UNWINDER=y.
