I agree we don't want machine specific defconfigs, but I think it makes
sense to have ones that cover the key options that conflict. I'm
thinking 32bit, 64bit, 64bit BookE, 64bit LE etc.

One bonus is if we have a smaller set of defconfigs we might actually
get better testing. I have no idea which 32bit defconfigs I should test
for example, and I'm not going to test them all!
