The results from our current method could of course be cached, and |
| 9 |
even cached between runs, by just relying on `/proc/version` changing |
| 10 |
for different kernels. This seems easy enough to do. |

Alternatively, sure, we could require that everyone has /proc/config |
| 13 |
in their kernel config. Many kernels don't have this (mine doesn't), |
| 14 |
but we could add it to the base requirements. |
