Created attachment 706671 [details, diff]
minimal kernel config check for k3s

k3s depends on lots of kernel configuration and k3s/containerd arent exactly very helpful with error messages, if the kernel is missing needed features. The attached patch will provide a set of configs needed for k3s to run.
The list might be incomplete, but it is a start.

Steps to reproduce:
1. emerge k3s ebuild
2. start k3s on a kernel missing the listed config

expected behavior:
k3s runs or warns about missing kernel features.

actual behavior:
k3s fails in various ways (sometimes later: not able to set up network or starting containers) and provides error messages that do not directly hint at kernel configuration amiss.
