===================================================================
This 'KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG' file is a config file which contains
(usually a subset of all) preset config symbols.  These variable
settings are still subject to normal dependency checks.

Examples:
        KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=custom-notebook.config make allnoconfig
or
        KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=mini.config make allnoconfig
or
        make KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=mini.config allnoconfig

These examples will disable most options (allnoconfig) but enable or
disable the options that are explicitly listed in the specified
mini-config files.
===================================================================

I think this should do what you want.
