For the end user case you need the distro to plonk the right file in the

This might work well for future releases; is there not a need to
make this work for past releases too?
This approach can work for any 3.x kernel version with any distro. The
distro provides the file, with a new kernel version you do "make
distconfig', with something prior to when this is added you do 'cp
/etc/kconfig/filename .config ; make oldconfig' instead.
the make oldconfig papers over a LOT of differences between the kernel
that the distro built with and the kernel the user is trying to compile.
