A thought occurred to me that we may be able to used some preprocessor
magic and do this:

#define config_defined(x) CFGVAL_## x

Which means that, if we get Kconfig to produce:

#define CFGVAL_CONFIG_FOO 0
#define CFGVAL_CONFIG_VALUE_BAR 1
#define CFGVAL_CONFIG_VALUE_BAZ_MODULE 1

We can use this:

if (config_defined(CONFIG_FOO) && some_expr) {
panic("Oh no.");
}

Well, in that case you could use Willy's magic hack:

#define config_defined(x) (x - 0)

Which isn't a bad alternative to defining a whole pile of new symbols...
