Subject: why don't top-level menu entries have help info?
i'd be surprised if this hasn't come up before, but would it be hard
to add a facility to Kconfig so that "menu" entries have some help
info?
after i run "make menuconfig" and i'm sitting at the main menu,
there's nothing to help me out in understanding what any of those
choices might mean.
i might see "Instrumentation Support" and wonder just what that is,
but if i ask for help (which is, as you can see, clearly available
at the bottom of the config screen), i get nothing meaningful, just
the generic README.
i think it would be helpful if those entries also supported help
info. just my $0.02.
