given a particular CONFIG_XXXX in the .config how do u find more information about it?

The hidden secret lies inside the Kconfig file that lies in each of
the subdirectory in the Linux Kernel.   An amazing little-tapped
resources (at least least -tapped for me till now :-0).

Just do this:

find . -name 'Kconfig' | xargs cat -

Take note of the dot and the dash.   It will return all the contents
of the Kconfig file (about 78K lines).   Output to a file, just just
vi or grep for info.
