Not with the current implementation of the runtime-test infrastructure since the
defconfig is bundled in the test python script.

The defconfig is written to .config but then we run make olddefconfig to
generate the real .config. So we can't compare the .config file with
check-dotconfig.py without creating a defconfig file.

This can be easily be done in a followup patch.
