Re: kernel config and revision control

Hi.
It sounds good - it'll simplify maintenance.
But IMHO we should leave kernel major/minor versions - just because we 
may have different kernel versions for different platforms in future 
(for ex., some SoC may require specified kernel version for Soc-related 
patches).
