Did not know that. I will look at the ALL configuration.

I meant, if I would go and add these options to the GENERIC
configuration and compile the kernel, would it work? I was assuming
maybe since the GENERIC configuration does not have these, maybe the
code would not be able to use these options, and would not work. But
if the ALL configuration has these, it is worth trying.
