Just for readability.  Maybe my brain is defective, but I just don't
parse the foo?bar:baz stuff very well.

Something like

#define UIDHASH_BITS CONFIG_UID_HASH_BITS

config UID_HASH_BITS
	int
	default 3 if BASE_SMALL
	default 8

But, I guess the incentive is pretty small when there are really only
two values, and the logic is extremely simple.

I know, I know. ;)  But, a lot of these definitions were from before we
had our nice, pretty Kconfig language.  I don't think it's much of a
crime to break tradition on these.

Anyway, it's not a big deal either way.
