I'm using this patch (respectively its predecessors) since many years in
ROCK Linux to auto-generate our general purpose kernel configurations, by
copying the default kernel config, forcing some variables to yes or no and
then setting all tristate options which are on 'n' to 'm' using this patch.
the only alternative would be to manually check the kernel configurtion for
each new kernel and setting all new tristate options to 'm' by hand. what a
waste of energy that would have been for the last couple of years.. ;-)
yours,
