This allows kernel developer to embed a default bootconfig file in the kernel instead of embedding it in the initrd. This will be good for who are using the kernel without initrd, or who needs a default bootconfigs. This needs to set two kconfigs: CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y and set the file path to CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE. Note that you still need 'bootconfig' command line option to load the embedded bootconfig. Also if you boot using an initrd with a different bootconfig, the kernel will use the bootconfig in the initrd, instead of the default bootconfig.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
