This is only partly correct.  kernel.config has very little to do with
dset.  It should contain a magic header and lines that are fed into the
kernel user config cli.  It remains for jkh to document the magic header
and other gotchas.  I just made it easier to use the stuff that he added.
It is still hard to use.  E.g., when you enable USERCONFIG_BOOT then
entering the user config cli is forced, which is usually not what
you want.
