Yup.  How to distinguish?  Support for ``ident FOO'' ==> ``#define
FOO'' has been dropped recently.  So it's perhaps best to add
``options GENERIC_KERNEL'' instead?

Uah, how many people would leave this one in their taylored config
files... certainly the same as those who left ``ident GENERIC''
there. :)

I really don't like the two dozen ``foo: not found at address ...''
messages for the installation kernel.
