Hardened has K_WANT_GENPATCHES="base" which means it already doesn't take the extra patches. We could either introduce a new flag for your patches like K_WANT_GENPATCHES="base extra geek" or more likely make each one with their own name so that hardened et al can take what they like and leave the rest. > > Also note that I do not plan to introduce any USE flags, since that > would duplicate the options to be listed in the kernel menuconfig.
