I'm very happy to see such a patch added to Linux (especially referring to saving the .config file in the kernel image). This is nice.
I've had such a patch for several months now but it's not quite as simple as this one....so... I don't know linker scripts very well. Can this be done for all architectures? I'd like to see a solution that is arch-independent.
And I do prefer to see the config data saved with the kernel image file (like this) and accessible even when the kernel isn't running, instead of only being available in /proc/config.gz when that kernel is running.
Thanks, ~Randy
