I think I get what this is doing and this seems pretty awesome!
Essentially we replace the kdevops Kconfigs which rely on scripts
with ansible calls which can rely on jinja2 template parsing on the
fly. This works especially well for use given we alreayd process
config symbols to yaml entries and always read them for ansible
playbooks.

While we could explore adapting this for complex scripts we use
like the ones which try to check your existing libvirt pools,
a simple jinja2 processing trick might be nicer to help us scale
with more symbols, otherwise kconfig will be rather slow. So,
any chance we might be able to leverage some regular python jinja2
thing which perhaps upstream Linux can also embrace?

Also I think it makes sense to combine this and patch #5, and also
you forgot to remove the script this is replacing?
