GNU Make 4.4 introduced $(intcmp ...), which is useful to compare two
integers without forking a new process.
Add test-{ge,gt,le,lt} macros, which work more efficiently with GNU
Make >= 4.4. For older Make versions, they fall back to the 'test'
shell command.
The first two parameters to $(intcmp ...) must not be empty. To avoid
the syntax error, I appended '0' to them. Fortunately, '00' is treated
as '0'. This is needed because CONFIG options may expand to an empty
string when the kernel configuration is not included.

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.
