ARM and powerpc are somewhat different in this aspect, since
ARM traditionally has not been able to build multiplatform kernels
(especially not multi-soc-family kernels).
Powerpc can build a kernel that will boot on all machines of a certain
class (server, fsl-booke, ibm-booke, ppc32). So there's not really
a whole lot of reason to have the custom per-board defconfigs in the
kernel tree any more.
For specific products it might still make sense for a vendor to make a custom
minimal defconfig, but that doesn't mean it's a requirement to have them in the
upstream repository.
