This tool doesn't configure anything.

It fishes information out of sysfs and prints it out.

I don't think this is useful, not appropriate for the kernel
tools subdirectory at all.

When I said make it distro neutral, that meant if you wanted to submit
this again you were expected to do the hard work of making it
configure things properly on all major distributions.
