AFAICS that's not the same as the current kvmconfig functionality
though: we want to minimally enable certain config options in the
current .config - not pick some default config.
My main usecase for this is that i want to minimally change .config's
that get mailed to me, to reproduce a bug reporter's kernel as
closely as possible - and be able to boot it in KVM.
It's a straightforward, very useful feature, i've been using my own
similar hack to do something similar for years and it works very
well.
Thanks,
Ingo
