Mine as well.  (I grepped for KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG in Documentation, not in the 
rest of the tree.  I of all people should know better...)

The linux kernel has documentation in Documentation, in the "make htmldocs" 
output, in the Kconfig help entries, in README files, in the output of "make 
help", and several other places.  (And then there's all the stuff that's not 
_in_ the kernel tarball...)

It's easy to miss.

P.S: yes, README files plural.
