I think the boot option is the way, if at all.

Because the config option isn't very usable. What's to stop someone
from doing `make allyesconfig' and then menually editing the .config so
it's no longer truly an allyesconfig .config?

otoh, if is't purely a manual setting rather than some automagic thing
then it might be workable. CONFIG_INGO :)

Write the required settings into a file and use KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG.

Found those, but seems unable to express the "depends on BROKEN_BOOT if FOO=y" method that's currently used.

Yes, might admittedly not be considered a huge problem and perhaps we could just ship an allyes.config (and same allrandom.config) but it's not nice to spread information about a single symbol over various files like that.

Currently, we have a tristate that turns into a y/n bool if !MODULES. What would be real nice here is a tristate that turns into a m/n bool if !RANDOM, where allyesconfig and randconfig would pre-select RANDOM.

If I'm not mistaken, that's currently not possible...
