Hmm, wait.  Patch 6/6 depends on earlier changes.  I cannot remove
the config option in question now as it is currently used by
exynos-cpufreq specific boost support.  Patch 1/6 can be applied
now but 6/6 needs to wait for patches 2-5 to be applied first.

Actually 6/6 is trivial and can be applied later in v4.3 cycle or
even in v4.4 one.
