Unfortunately, adjustkernel is obsolete.  It doesn't know about
attachments to attributes (i.e., audio* at audiobus?), and making it
know about that would require it to parse all the config machinery in
the kernel source tree.

config(1) already does the latter (duh), I think it should have a -r or
something option to build the config from the dmesg (or some kind of a
device tree exported in some way).

Yes, that's the point.  It won't make kernel config files any more
readable, though.  Quite the contrary.
