An example of how this could work follow: A file (or directory) is created in /etc/ that contains a list of <ebuild>,<config_option>,<state_required> Then the user is responsible to check that list against the wanna be running kernel This save probably both computational and human time state_required - should be well thought out since it can be required present, absent or maybe even suggested
