cc list trimmed.
It is kbuild rather than config that needs the ability. I could do it
trivially in kbuild 2.5, I almost added the facility at one time. Alas
it breaks when you get overlapping patches, select one config or
another and it works, select both (assuming they are not exclusive) and
it breaks.
I don't have a solution and the symptoms of overlapping patches are
worse than the problem that patches are trying to fix, so I left patch
support out of kbuild 2.5. You can use shadow trees where you overlay
a new implementation of a subsystem over the base kernel, then switch
between versions by specifying which set of trees you are using.
