Hi Vladimir,

AFAIK, the reason why one cant disable debugfs from make menuconfig and
other similar ways to make changes to config file, is that debugfs is being
used by many kernel code which are in-built in the kernel and not as a
module. Hence i think because of this it is kept tightly coupled with the
kernel.
