I'm a stickler for no const strings or magic numbers but it's Kaiwan's
patch, if he puts it in with const strings I'll apply it as is :)

You are correct, since the beginning of this function that has been the
algorithm. My observation is that if /proc/config.gz is present then we
don't need to parse the other files so it is better to blow them away.

I don't know enough about the whole Linux-sphere to know if this is
correct. But it seems reasonable that even if there is more than one way
to look at the running kernels config file they will all be the same,
the system would be pretty broken if they were different.

So once we have found a readable config file just parse it and be done
with it, no need to loop over any others.

thanks,
Tobin.
