not a problem. hey, submit a patch. :-) seriously, you can at least suggest what the Kconfig menu choices should look like. i certainly don't feel comfortable doing that, and it's obvious how to add extra entries to Kconfig. >> that appears to be done manually, i see no reason why the same >> couldn't be done in the patch i submitted. it would be a trivial >> change to get the same effect. > > You are right.
