Public bug reported:
[SRU Justification]
= Impact =
We want to add some driver code which exists in the primary kernel
source but will not get included unless specifically asked for. As long
as there are no drivers using this, there is no user-visible change.
= Impact =
This will be done by adding a new config option which gets turned on via
build setup rules. The default will be off.
= Testcase =
As long as there are no consumers changes can only be seen by inspecting
the build logs (if even that).
= Regression Potential =
This prepares for future consumers. At this stage either the build will
fail completely or pass and in that case the produced kernel binaries
are the same as they were before.
