  | add COMPAT_15/COMPAT_16

Why?

I understand COMPAT_16 - that is needed and makes sense, but COMPAT_15 ???

COMPAT_15 is a no-op, unless the kernel has the INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE
option (in which case setting the COMPAT_15 option alters what is
included with the config file, naturally), the COMPAT_15 option has
absolutely zero effect on any kernel whatever (set it, leave it out, the
resulting kernel will be identical).

The COMPAT_15 option should be expunged from everywhere (except from
conf/files where it is defined, and only left there so people who have
copied GENERIC configs that have included this useless option won't
get config errors).
