This option allows to enable or disable certain kernel features.
It's not API, because it's about kernel feature sets, that
make sense for specific use cases. Mostly along with programs,
which would have separate nixos options.

This option allows you to override the Linux kernel used by
NixOS. Since things like external kernel module packages are
tied to the kernel you're using, it also overrides those.
This option is a function that takes Nixpkgs as an argument
(as a convenience), and returns an attribute set containing at
the very least an attribute <varname>kernel</varname>.
Additional attributes may be needed depending on your
configuration. For instance, if you use the NVIDIA X driver,
then it also needs to contain an attribute
<varname>nvidia_x11</varname>.

building the kernel and dependent packages locally, since this
customization happens at build time.

(Deprecated) This option, if set, activates the VESA 800x600 video
mode on boot and disables kernel modesetting. It is equivalent to
specifying <literal>[ "vga=0x317" "nomodeset" ]</literal> in the
<option>boot.kernelParams</option> option. This option is
deprecated as of 2020: Xorg now works better with modesetting, and
you might want a different VESA vga setting, anyway.

The set of kernel modules in the initial ramdisk used during the
boot process. This set must include all modules necessary for
mounting the root device. That is, it should include modules
for the physical device (e.g., SCSI drivers) and for the file
system (e.g., ext3). The set specified here is automatically
closed under the module dependency relation, i.e., all
dependencies of the modules list here are included
automatically. The modules listed here are available in the
initrd, but are only loaded on demand (e.g., the ext3 module is
loaded automatically when an ext3 filesystem is mounted, and
modules for PCI devices are loaded when they match the PCI ID
of a device in your system). To force a module to be loaded,
include it in <option>boot.initrd.kernelModules</option>.
