The intent of "X86_RAS" is just to show/hide all the menu
options for the individual features - which will all use
          depends on X86_RAS
right? Having this set to "y" doesn't actually enable any of
the features - they all have their own CONFIG_* variables.

Perhaps we could make that clearer in the help text? And
ditch the "Leave it at 'y' ... ", I don't think it helps anyone.
