I think the benefit is not worth the cost, both the cost of the new code
plus the cost of having more state in the kernel source tree.
That part aside, I tried it on top of a plain 2.1.85. I ran
'make menuconfig' and asked for help on the first option,
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL. I got this error:
help_add_dir_to_index: closedir Documentation/config No such file or directory
