I now have a patch for the Linux kernel (albeit 2.1.29 at the moment) to give
the kernel a extensive configuration manager. See my web pages at:

http://www.nexor.co.uk/~dwh/

for the patch and an HTML version of the manual.
also be turned into HTML using an appropriate utility (eg: texi2html).

This is really nice work. In fact, I think the configuration manager
you have written can provide a huge step towards completely cleaning
up our device driver subsystem in the kernel.

It should be trivial to add the necessary support for bus and dma/io
architecture specific things some other platforms (Sparc, M68k, etc.)
need. This in particular is what I like about the configuration
manager.
