Two things I have thought about doing...

CONFIG_EMBEDDED -- turn on options which help you slim down the system a
lot. Lets you disable devrandom, make drivers read-only (ditch write
support for space), etc.

CONFIG_DEBUGGING -- so many drivers have debug options, and some put
them into Config.in switches. Hide these with CONFIG_DEBUGGING...
