i'm curious why Kconfig menu entries can't have some associated help
text.  if i start in "make menuconfig", and i'm looking at the very
first:

  Code maturity level options -->

i might ask myself, "hmmm ... i wonder what that means and whether i
even care what's under there."  but if i select help, i get this
generic, overall help screen about how configuration works in general.
useful, of course, but it doesn't help explaining what code maturity
means.

  now, of course, if i select that menu, i can certainly get help on
its *component* sub-entries, but that means there's absolutely no
place to get help info on any menu entry anywhere in the entire config
process, which i think would be useful.

  it seems that a lot of potential help real estate is being wasted by
not allowing menu entries to have their own help text.

  thoughts?
