Not every randconfig failure is a kernel problem.  Here's an example:

Physical address of main memory (PHYS_OFFSET) [] (NEW) aborted!

Console input/output is redirected. Run 'make oldconfig' to update configuration.

This needs someone to provide a value, which means these failures are
not in fact failures of the kernel, but a failure of the build system
to anticipate that there may be Kconfig questions that need input.

So, these ones should be ignored.
