Well, we've had problems in the past where people turn on options under CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL or CONFIG_EMBEDDED and it breaks in exactly the specified fashion and they complain on LKML. The point of this is to expose kconfig tunables which a "normal" kconfig user would get wrong 99% of the time and would break in obscure ways. For example, the "CONFIG_MULTITHREAD_PCI_PROBE" option, if it was re-added for more tinkering, could go under this option. Ah, see, due to the magic of kconfig language this does not show up as a separate option (no text for the "bool") identifier. It's just an alias for I_KNOW_WHAT_THE_HELL_I_AM_DOING to make it easier to use in other Kconfig files ("depends EXPERT && SOME_OPTION!=n && ANOTHER_OPTION") instead of s/EXPERT/I_KNOW_WHAT_THE_HELL_I_AM_DOING/g. :-D Cheers, Kyle Moffett -
