Nope you need
distro/everyarchtheyship/everykernelvarianttkeyship(smp,largemem,arm
boards)/Kconfig
which for some distros is over 20 per release and the end user wouldn't
have a cat in hells chance of knowing which to pick.
For the end user case you need the distro to plonk the right file in the
right place and be done with it, once they do that the rest is
bikeshedding a ten line Makefile rule.
