One thing that can be slightly confusing is that there is an architecture
named alpha, and a quality estimate called alpha. So when the configure
script asks something like:

Kernel/User network link driver(ALPHA) (CONFIG_NETLINK) [N/y/?]

Your not really sure if it means that its of ALPHA quality or only runs
on the ALPHA. Im not sure if this is enough of a problem to fix, but I
though I would point it out.
