You want to do the same thing for pci? There's a LOT of stuff that
depends on that! :) I don't think that trying to add comments to keep
people from doing really dumb thing with config files is doing to fix the
problem. Theres a reason we have a whole section in the Handbook on
kernel configuration, and we still have people doing dumb things :)
Also note there is a "don't remove this" comment on npx, which you would
think keep people from screwing around with it to much.
