Placing this between FLASK and FLASK_AVC_STATS will break proper
menuconfig representation of the latter afaict.

This option isn't visible in menuconfig.  Should I make it visible?


I believe I actually had that as an outstanding question to you on the
series that introduced that flag.

At the time I didn't see the need for it to be visible.  Since it's come
up again, I think it should either be made visible (in a distinct patch),
but maybe limited to EXPERT=y.  Otherwise, it seems like the option and
its #ifdefs should be removed: there's no point in having the option if
it's not possible to adjust it.
