Hi,

Will it be good, if we make the `config` file (used to
build a kernel) part of the built kernel. So that one in
need, can extract it from the kernel using some
userspace tool!?

During the configuration of kernel, we usually set
the required functionality. However, if we delete the
sources/config file or loose the config file, but later
we wanted to add up some module(s) to the same
kernel, it'd be great if we will be able to extract some
info from the kernel along with the config params!??

Regards,
Sanjeev
