Note that it's more like an 'add' operation, not a modify operation, thus: make addconfig=kvm or: make addconfig kvm would be intuitive and would work well too. Sam, Michal, which one would you prefer? The latter might have the advantage that it's additive, enabling future usages like: make addconfig kvm debug as a quick shortcut to enable baseline KVM support and generic kernel debugging features, without having to twiddle with the menuconfig. Hm? Would be nice to move on this issue, we've painted it to death already ;-) Thanks, Ingo
