Combine instrumentation menus in kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation
Quoting Randy:

"It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
20-something times.  Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.

However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
_one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."
