Parse error, or too much irony.
Anyway, I'd suggest the Kconfig test be something like "say N unless
you know how to prepare patch for running kernel, and plan to do
that".
And, since you seem to be targeting sysadmins with this, it would be
cool to have sysadmin-targeted documentation explaining what patches
are safe to apply with kgraft and what are not.
Best regards,
Pavel
