Guys, don't do this.  Either put the new item into a randomly-chosen
position or, probably better, alphanumerically sort the list.

I've been telling people to alphanumerically sort Kconfig select
options for some time, but as normal, no one's listening.

Anyone who cares to sort the existing ones "at the end of the merge window",
and teaches checkpatch to enforce it for new ones?

Well, I'll certainly do that for ARM... but how long it'll stay like
that will be very hit and miss...
