The reason it only checks that .kunitconfig is a subset of .config is
because we don't want the .kunitconfig to remove options just because
it doesn't recognize them.

It runs `make ARCH=um olddefconfig` on the .config that it generates
from the .kunitconfig, and most of the time that means you will get a
.config with lots of things in it that aren't in the .kunitconfig.
Consequently, nothing should ever be deleted from the .config just
because it was deleted in the .kunitconfig (unless, of course, you
change a =y to a =n or # ... is not set), so I don't see what this
change would do.

Can you maybe provide an example?
