Masahiro Yamada bcfefb61cd kconfig: announce removal of 'kvmconfig' and 'xenconfig' shorthands
kvmconfig' is a shorthand for kvm_guest.config to save 7 character typing.

xenconfig' is a shorthand for xen.config to save 1 character typing.

There is nothing more than that.

There are more files in kernel/configs/, so it is not maintainable
to wire-up every config fragment to the Kconfig Makefile. Hence,
we should not do this at all.

These will be removed after Linux 5.10. Meanwhile, the following
warning message will be displayed if they are used.

WARNING: 'make kvmconfig' will be removed after Linux 5.10
         Please use 'make kvm_guest.config' instead.

README

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.
