Turns out this option is only useful when the kernel is configured with IDE
support, and Quentin's kernel was compiled without.

I'm currently thinking about putting some of the configuration-parsing logic
in Augeas lenses (see http://augeas.net ) - that would make them more 
reusable and thus worth spending time on :).
