This adds a description of RPS/XPS options and allow them to be
changed at make menuconfig time.

I'm not sure why you think this is necessary.

On my copy, make menuconfig doesn't let me change these CONFIG_ items,
unless I add the string after "boolean", which this patch does. I
agree, the help I added after is pure cosmetic.

I know, but I'm asking why you think it's necessary to make them
optional.

They shouldn't be, they are internal dependency descriptions and should
be invisible to the user.
