Why is "Memory split" Kconfig option only for EMBEDDED?

Hi,

I remember reading on LKML some time ago that using VMSPLIT_3G_OPT would
be optimal for a machine with exactly 1GB memory (like my current
desktop). Why is that option only prompted for after selecting EMBEDDED
(which I normally don't select for desktop machines)?

Best,
  Norbert
