   Make it possible to specify WITHOUT_MODULES in a kernel config file.
Can you explain how this differs from
makeoptions     NO_MODULES
which has been able to do for years?
NO_MODULES means what it says: No modules.

WITHOUT_MODULES="foo bar baz" means "go ahead and build modules except
for foo,
bar, and baz".

Thanks.  The distincion wasn't clear from the commit log.
I read it as "Build a kernel WITHOUT building MODULES",
which is what NO_MODULES does.
which is why I'd like to have its name changed: it is confusing this way...
     Wouldn't it be better to have MODULES_EXCLUDE and MODULES_INCLUDE
or something along those lines? MODULES_OVERRIDE doesn't really have a
nice clean antonym to go with it according to my friendly neighborhood
thesaurus.

Yes. jhb and I have been talking about this, and will have some changes soon.
