Cool! :-)

A defconfig which doesn't build a kernel nor a bootloader is pretty
useless IMO.

Isn't the code to build this kernel available on some Git repository,
even if it's not upstream yet ? If so, then it would be better to have
a defconfig that points to this Git repository (actually, many of our
defconfigs point to non-upstream kernel source code).

Thanks!
