+Creating and Loading Custom Configurations
+==========================================
+
+Custom configurations and / or features can be dynamically loaded into the
+system by using a loadable module.
+
+An example of a custom configuration is found in ./samples/coresight.
+
+This creates a new configuration that uses the existing built in
+strobing feature, but provides a different set of presets.
+
+When the module is loaded, then the configuration appears in the configfs
+file system and is selectable in the same way as the built in configuration
+described above.
+
+Configurations can use previously loaded features. The system will ensure
+that it is not possible to unload a feature that is currently in use, by
+enforcing the unload order as the strict reverse of the load order.
