    Yes, it could be two config options:

      bzImage includes System map
      bzImage includes System config

    But actually we're not talking about a kernel build option at all,
    we're just talking about cat'ing one or two gzip files onto the end of
    bzImage, and so the only reason for making it a config option would be
    for taking care of really clueless people like me who don't know
    that. Otherwise it would just be a little script or perhaps an option
    on 'make install'.
