I mean you can add a description for some feature to link the config
document or vice versa.  Many of those description can be added to the
tool manpage or cross-reference config option at least.

For example, I sent a patch for children overhead documentation so you
can just add 'see perf-report(1) for more details' into the
description of the config option instead of repeating the whole
contents.  Or use asciidoc's 'include' macro to include the (part of)
doc directly if possible.

Unfortunately, very few people donated their time to improve the
documentation until now.

Thanks,
