+# After doing a make localyesconfig, your kernel configuration may
+# not be the most useful minimum configuration. Having a true minimum
+# config that you can use against other configs is very useful if
+# someone else has a config that breaks on your code. By only forcing
+# those configurations that are truly required to boot your machine
+# will give you less of a chance that one of your set configurations
+# will make the bug go away. This will give you a better chance to
+# be able to reproduce the reported bug matching the broken config.
+#
+# Note, this does take some time, and may require you to run the
+# test over night, or perhaps over the weekend. But it also allows
+# you to interrupt it, and gives you the current minimum config
+# that was found till that time.
+#
+# Note, this test automatically assumes a BUILD_TYPE of oldconfig
+# and its test type acts like boot.
+# TODO: add a test version that makes the config do more than just
+# boot, like having network access.
+#
+# To save time, the test does not just grab any option and test
+# it. The Kconfig files are examined to determine the dependencies
+# of the configs. If a config is chosen that depends on another
+# config, that config will be checked first. By checking the
+# parents first, we can eliminate whole groups of configs that
+# may have been enabled.
+#
+# For example, if a USB device config is chosen and depends on CONFIG_USB,
+# the CONFIG_USB will be tested before the device. If CONFIG_USB is
+# found not to be needed, it, as well as all configs that depend on
+# it, will be disabled and removed from the current min_config.
+#
+# OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is the path and filename of the file that will
+# be created from the MIN_CONFIG. If you interrupt the test, set
+# this file as your new min config, and use it to continue the test.
+# This file does not need to exist on start of test.
+# This file is not created until a config is found that can be removed.
+# If this file exists, you will be prompted if you want to use it
+# as the min_config (overriding MIN_CONFIG) if START_MIN_CONFIG
+# is not defined.

+# IGNORE_CONFIG is used to specify a config file that has configs that
+# you already know must be set. Configs are written here that have
+# been tested and proved to be required. It is best to define this
+# file if you intend on interrupting the test and running it where
+# it left off. New configs that it finds will be written to this file
+# and will not be tested again in later runs.
