This doesn't sound too hard. I've picked the defaults out of the
git history in the patch below. The only tricky part was davinci,
which has two different addresses and requires a little rework
to avoid circular dependencies.

Most platforms these days hardcode ARCH_PATCH_PHS_VIRT anyway,
so we only need to list the bunch of remaining ones.

I don't know what Fenguang's problem was with that approach, but
at least at the moment he's using a fixup after running randconfig.
In my own tests, I'm doing yet another approach by marking a
handful of symbols as 'depends on BROKEN' in my testing patches,
but clearly that does not work when building other people's trees.

The other related issue is the DEBUG_UART_{VIRT,PHYS} setting,
where there is no safe platform-specific default. I have two
ideas for working around that, maybe one of them sounds ok to
you:

a) find a way to warn and/or disable DEBUG_LL when no address
is set, rather than failing the build

b) add 'default 0 if COMPILE_TEST' to make it harder to get this
wrong by accident (hopefully nobody tries to run a COMPILE_TEST
kernel). Also maybe add a #warning if DEBUG_UART_VIRT is
outside of VMALLOC_START...PCI_IOBASE area, which would cover
this case as well.
