Instead of worrying about storing the config information, what about storing a (2-byte?) hash of .config and System.map and whatever else is needed, in the kernel, so you can at least tell when you have the right combination. Then you can leave the archiving problem outside the kernel. The hash could be logged, etc. and the kernel debugging stuff could check that you're dealing with a consistent set of files.
