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.

to help you manage the complexity of the configuration and sources

- In particular, the kernel tools allow you to specify only what you
- must, and nothing more.
- Where a complete Linux kernel <filename>.config</filename> includes
- all the automatically selected <filename>CONFIG</filename> options,
- the configuration fragments only need to contain the highest level
- visible <filename>CONFIG</filename> options as presented by the Linux
- kernel <filename>menuconfig</filename> system.
- This reduces your maintenance effort and allows you
- to further separate your configuration in ways that make sense for
- your project.
- A common split is policy and hardware.
- For example, all your kernels might support
- the <filename>proc</filename> and <filename>sys</filename> filesystems,
- but only specific boards will require sound, USB, or specific drivers.
- Specifying these individually allows you to aggregate them
- together as needed, but maintain them in only one place.
- Similar logic applies to source changes.
