there are a few steps missing here. Mainly how to run menuconfig and then how to copy .config back to the source. They are kinda obvious, but given the rest of this addition is very detailed it's odd that the final steps are missing.
Also, this process will change quite a bit very soon (once https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit/tree/master/projects/kernel-config has been updated and merged)
