Shouldn't this be changed too then?

Or better yet, wouldn't a change that eliminates the need of adding a new
option in two separate places be useful?

Yes, it's crummy how things work now, indeed.

I see the only use for that DEVCONF enum is to dump the settings via
netlink. Wouldn't a memcpy suffice?

It should be.

I've taken a look at this and it seems the current way of doing it is really 
required as we need to preserve userspace ABI across different CONFIG_ 
settings.
