[Kernelbook-feedback] CML2

[Gary L. M. <ga...@ca...>]

Nothing like giving feedback on your own work ;) ... latest news from
ESR suggests the kernelbook will need to include a section on adding
new options to the kernel using the CML2 configuration as well as
through the legacy kbuild.

Q: Should we even bother with kbuild?  Perhaps just dismiss it quickly
   and concentrate on CML2?  CML2 is not in the 2.4-test1 release and
   likely won't get into the kernel until 2.5 since verifying the new
   method against the nightmare tangle of kbuild will be a significant
   effort.

Q: Where should the CML2 tutorial go?  Into "Contributing to the Kernel"
   or into "Kernel Sources" ... or someplace else?  There's not enough
   to it to fill a new chapter, but it will be a largish section within
   a chapter.
