Great, thanks.  If you don't mind, I also have a question about kbuild...

For automated kernel testing when we wish to customize a config, such as
iterating through memory models, tuning settings, experimental features,
etc. we can do this through simple substitutions.

However, this doesn't handle dependencies, such as if choice of a given
memory model should alter other config settings.

Do you know of a tool or technique which can be used from the
commandline to alter an arbitrary symbol's value in a given .config
file, and cascade the change to any dependent symbols, using a given
kernel Kconfig?
