That option is the minimum required for Gator, but we now have more
trace configs enabled which superced the minimal generic traces, so if
they are staying, then we can drop the default trace option.

I disabled that [1] because it was crashing our kernels when doing ARM
builds, not sure what the current state of the kernel is. It's an
obscure option and I can't imagine that many people actually have it
enabled, so could well still be broken in the mainline kernel.
Irrespective of whether it crashes, do we actually want to have support
for non AEBI user side code? Also, from the help text "This option adds
a tiny overhead to all syscalls and produces a slightly larger kernel."
