kernel-dev: Eliminated a redundant paragraph.
Noticed the exact same paragraph at the beginning of Chapter 3
that also appears in the introductory text for the manual.

| 25 | Where a complete Linux kernel <filename>.config</filename> includes | ||
| 26 | all the automatically selected <filename>CONFIG</filename> options, | ||
| 27 | the configuration fragments only need to contain the highest level | ||
| 28 | visible <filename>CONFIG</filename> options as presented by the Linux | ||
| 29 | kernel <filename>menuconfig</filename> system. | ||
| 30 | This reduces your maintenance effort and allows you | ||
| 31 | to further separate your configuration in ways that make sense for | ||
| 32 | your project. | ||
| 33 | A common split is policy and hardware. | ||
| 34 | For example, all your kernels might support | ||
| 35 | the <filename>proc</filename> and <filename>sys</filename> filesystems, | ||
| 36 | but only specific boards will require sound, USB, or specific drivers. | ||
| 37 | Specifying these individually allows you to aggregate them | ||
| 38 | together as needed, but maintain them in only one place. | ||
| 39 | Similar logic applies to source changes. | ||
