This should preferably go into a separate file, to allow cvsup to
update the . To do this, we would need some way to tell config that
there are extra files it should look at - possibly by an extra option
in the config file. This would allow building of bisdn and similar
kernel additions without modifying the normal kernel files at all.

These are not positively required, just a convenience. They are
required for the actual kernel config used to build a kernel with ISDN
support, of course.

Could be done by the port directly. Not as clean for integration into
