We don't deliver cmos.default files, so this is a user setting at this
time.
This might change, and then we should reevaluate how we handle CMOS.
But USE_OPTION_TABLE should disable it _all_ anyway.

So you already have:
- no CMOS at all
- CMOS support, but no cmos.default
- CMOS support with cmos.default

We already stretch Kconfig beyond its limits. Let's not do it any
further or it will break apart.

"Fail to boot"? I wonder about its use.
