That wasn't what I was implying.  conf/std would hold core
functionalities, which is exactly what swap support is:  something that
is optional, but wanted in all but very specific situations.

Say that we get another VM system in a way that the user can choose
between UVM and that other VM.  conf/std would be the place for "options
UVM".

"options EXEC_ELF" is definitely a candidate for conf/std, too.
