yes, but I think the main drag is deciding with the kernel build system
maintainers what they are willing to accept as an interface. There isn't
much point in exporting a json config if from the kernel side they would
rather use something else. Or to use pkg-config.

I confess I lost track of that discussion. Did that settle with
pkg-config being the preferred solution?
