There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository

New package: linux5.5-5.5.2 (tested on x86_64).
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/18849

Description:
This enables X86_UMIP among other things, also restores
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y (which was set to
_ALWAYS again, see [1]).

How to know what is the policy to enable or disable
any option? simple: we follow what upstream defaults to, e.g:
if an option is disabled by default (N), we don't enable
it unless it's explicitely required. For any other options
that can be built as modules, we build them as modules.

So the linux kernel configuration that void uses depends
on what upstream sets by default.

For now this only contains working configurations for
x86 and x86_64. People with working hardware should adapt
this configuration to the target arch appropiately.

Built and tested on x86 and x86_64.
