Subject: [PATCH 3/9] KEYS: Move the key config into security/keys/Kconfig
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:46:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120328104630.10417.47976.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120328104607.10417.85745.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk>

Move the key config into security/keys/Kconfig as there are going to be a lot
of key-related options.
