Sorry, I have no idea how the other arches handle defconfigs:-(

I guess you could also just see if arm-soc (arm@kernel.org) will take
this patch, and deal with any merge conflicts that arise when they merge
all the sub-arch defconfig changes. I CC'd them to find out if they
think that's a better idea.
