The config option probably lives in net/Kconfig, not init/Kconfig.
And please could you make it clear how this interacts with IP_MULTICAST?
We already have a CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST option, for which the help text
says "For more people, it's safe to say N'. And I think it defaults to
that too. What more does CONFIG_IGMP remove? It's not made clear by the
help text.
