This habit of changing a lot of defconfig stuff in a patch dealing with other
stuff is alien in the ARM world. Especially when changing a horde of stuff
that has nothing to do with the patch subject.

But I don't really know how PPC does these things so who am I to
speak ...

BTW: doesn't the "make saveconfig" reduce defconfigs on PPC?
Paging Uwe on this.
