>Description:
I have updated chapter "8.4 - The Configuration File". Now it's up-to-date with the 5.X kernel configuration file. The original document was very out of date, so it took me quite a while to fix it. The patch should be applied to handbook/kernelconfig/chapter.sgml.

There are probably errors, and I may have forgotten some things, so feedback on this patch would certainly be very nice. All comments are welcome. I think that we can improve this patch a bit, especially by making some of the descriptions of the new options more informative, but I need some views on this. Good or Bad? Wasted time perhaps?

Note that there are for sure other things in chapter 8 that needs updating, which this patch does not cover.
