Ok.

Is it somehow possible to fuse defconfig with an allmodconfig, with
defconfig's CONFIG_FOO=y taking precedence over allmodconfig's
CONFIG_FOO=m?

IIUC, that would give you the necessary platform bits, at least for
anything supported by defconfig. That would also happen to get
CONFIG_UNIX=y, too.

Thanks,
Mark.
