Hi Michael,
Sorry for the delay.

Changing the akebono_defconfig doesn't cause the missing symbols
to be set -- the defconfig is not being used here.

I guess that if you have users who set CONFIG_AKEBONO and expect
it to build cleanly, you will need something like my patch or the
patch that Florian just posted.

Changing the akebono_defconfig also would not help 'make randconfig'
builds to build cleanly if they had happened to enable AKEBONO.
