I was referring to the `.so`, not the `.rmeta`s, i.e. I thought Ben
was referring to the last paragraph quoted.

The `.rmeta`s definitely depend on the kernel config (and always
will). The `.so` do not get the config passed right now, but we may
end up passing it if we need it. So I would just assume they do.
