Oh for the benefit of people not on the list for long enough someone
suggests wasting 20K of kernel memory on this, someone else suggests compressing

far more sensible idea of linking the config file into the final zImage as
an extra ELF segment, thus taking no RAM, but nobody did it.
So save the discussion and just do the ELF thing
