Yes, it is an option that must be enabled in the kernel. If its not
there, that just means the option (CONFIG_PROC_CONFIG) was not set to
yes.  If this is the case, you will need to find the config file
distributed with the kernel source. This is a fairly new option in the
stock kernel (the patch for it has been around a while, though) and
the kernel does not otherwise keep this information.
