The patch titled
config: update usage/help info
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
config-update-usage-help-info.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Replace outdated help message with a reference to README. Update README
for make *config variants and environment variable info.
