My defconfig patch used "m" because (if I recall correctly) the SWIM 
driver is experimental code that couldn't be safely loaded on all 
machines.

This would alter the device major/minor numbers and devtmpfs path, right?

Also I wonder about CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS on Macs without a working RTC 
driver. Would enabling CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS change present behaviour?

I suppose it might need some testing. Otherwise, I think harmonising this 
across defconfigs (and distro configs) is a good idea.
