FWIW, the above (argparse.BooleanOptionalAction) appears to be a
python 3.9 thing. My own build environment happens to have python3
default to python 3.8 and thus I get a build error related to this. I
have no idea what the kernel usually assumes for a baseline, but
others might get build errors too. I don't even see python listed in:

https://docs.kernel.org/process/changes.html

..in any case, if it's easy to change this to not require python3.9
that would at least help for my build environment. :-P
