Must have, since I've been running on a Adaptec 2940 and 2.[12] kernel
for years (well... :)

>From the patch:
+/proc/.config support
+CONFIG_DCONFIG
+ Saying Y here will make a snapshot of your configuration options

+ compile several kernel images with different configuration options
+ and would like to keep track of which is which.

+ This option will enlarge your kernel by about 10-12 KB, depending on
+ the size of your /usr/src/linux/.config file.
