I'm starting to adapt some patches for options which
allow Linux to boot faster (for embedded environments).
It seems like these should go under the EMBEDDED
menu. However, this menu looks like it is specific
to size reductions:
menuconfig EMBEDDED
bool "Remove kernel features (for embedded systems)"
help
This option allows certain base kernel features to be removed from
the build...
Some of the options that CELF is working on for
fast booting do remove features, but some do not.
Anyone have advice for whether I should:
1) use the existing EMBEDDED option (my preference), or
2) make a new FASTBOOT option?
Thanks.

I agree with you, EMBEDDED should be able to handle it.

I've renamed the EMBEDDED menu in my tree to something on the order of
"modify standard feature set" as it's not really specific to EMBEDDED.
Tim, if you want to send me your fastboot patches, I'd be happy to put
them in -tiny.
