We have a CONFIG_DEBUG prefix already that's filtered out by defconfig.  
CONFIG_DEBUG_EFENCE and CONFIG_DEBUG_DMALLOC are both debug features, and 
naming that that means they would automatically be filtered out by defconfig.

Those are going away because they shouldn't be in the .config file.  They're 
part of the build environment.  If you want to build the same busybox for 
x86, arm, and ppc, you should be able to use the same .config file.  Hence 
the .config.mak stuff that just went in, which I need to document this 
weekend.

CONFIG_DEBUG_* and CONFIG_FEATURE_* already exist.  We're discussing similarly 
tagging applets and the remaining symbols.
