something like "make tests"? ;)

not really, one has to actually try to use the feature in question to
determine if the kernel supports it correctly.

And it further depends on the type of kernel, a monolithic one or the
ordinary module kernel. If the latter is the case you could check if
the feature's module is loaded, but ... that's by no means a
guarantee for that the feature will work. May also depend on the
distro you are using, among other stuff.

Rule of thumb: You have to stress-test it

Anything specific you are looking for?
