I do not see *any* of these by grepping through .config.

Since I'm currently running a kernel & modules built (yesterday) with
this config, I'm pretty confident that the config is OK.

This does not seem to be the case on my system
Linux scarlatti 2.6.17-gentoo #1 PREEMPT Mon Jun 19 15:28:07 PDT
2006 x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MT-32
AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux.
All I get when I check CONFIG_EMBEDDED in gconfig is a bunch of
questions, which all default to yes, about using futexes, eventpoll,
etc. Nothing about memory.
Regardless, I'd expect to see those config options listed (but not set)
irrespective of whether CONFIG_EMBEDDED is or is not set.
The only thing I can conclude is that these configuration options have
been removed. (I checked the config resulting from 'make defconfig' as
well.) But that doesn't explain why I can't find them in older .configs.

I *know* I've seen them before (on my Fedora system?) I must be going
mad, or is this what Alzheimer's feels like?
