Oh for the benefit of people not on the list for long enough someone suggests wasting 20K of kernel memory on this, someone else suggests compressing it and we drop the idea about every 4 months. Last time someone suggested the far more sensible idea of linking the config file into the final zImage as an extra ELF segment, thus taking no RAM, but nobody did it.
So save the discussion and just do the ELF thing
