in my local testing i'm using simple annotations like the one attached further below. Any objections against sending my BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED kit upstream, and merge my annotations for various kernel features that break a generic distro bootup?
Right now i have about 40 such annotations for -tip testing:
fs/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED fs/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED security/selinux/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED security/smack/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED security/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/net/appletalk/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/net/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/media/video/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/scsi/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/watchdog/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/watchdog/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/ide/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/i2c/busses/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/block/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/video/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/video/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/video/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/video/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/video/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/video/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/video/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/video/console/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/video/console/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/mtd/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED drivers/isdn/icn/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED lib/Kconfig.kgdb: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED lib/Kconfig.debug: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED lib/Kconfig.debug: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED arch/x86/Kconfig.debug: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED arch/x86/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED arch/x86/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED arch/x86/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED arch/x86/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED arch/x86/Kconfig: # depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED arch/x86/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED arch/x86/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED arch/x86/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED arch/x86/Kconfig: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu: depends on BROKEN_BOOT_ALLOWED
and note the stark contrast to CONFIG_BROKEN - sometimes a given functionality is really not meant to be enabled on a generic system.
