Trouble is that years ago when I started compiling my own kernel, I did
not start a file with 3 columns: date - function - reason for adding, so
now I have a kernel that keeps getting bigger and I don't know
specifically why the entries are there, other than in general, like the
ones above.
This is one of the reasons I still use menuconfig. Most options have a help
description available that can remind you why you are or aren't using a
given kernel option.
