Somewhat unrelated: do you know about boot.kernelPatches (https://nixos.org/nixos/options.html#kernelpatches ) ?

@symphorien Yes, but that only helps if you're using NixOS, rather than nixpkgs directly (I think).

I feel like for this kind of more advanced stuff you should directly use linuxPackagesFor (pkgs.linuxManualConfig { or instead forward all arguments { ... } @ args: ... pkgs.linuxManualConfig { inherit args; }, the function being small, it should be easy for its users to look for what parameters are available.

@teto What scared me from doing that is the recurseIntoAttrs. What does that function do?

@tathougies it's a hint to the evaluator for what to do about attributes that evaluate to sets (to recurse or not), see e.g., https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/src/libexpr/get-drvs.cc#L350

Are there any updates on this pull request, please?

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.
Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the
   related code and @ mention them in a comment.
2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse. 3. Ask on the #nixos channel on
   irc.freenode.net.
