[PATCH 1/3] Include kernel config by default

[Alexander Holler]

The configuration used to build a kernel (.config) is an import part of
the kernel because it defines many aspects how the kernel handles all kind
of stuff.
Without knowing the used configuration, it is almost impossible
to diagnose problems or to determine how many functionalities are handled
by the kernel.

Therefor include the used configuration by default (e.g. to
extract it using scripts/extract-ikconfig) and make it available through
/proc/config.gz.
