Not really.  In order for me to create a new defconfig for an embedded
platform, I have to turn *off* CHRP *and* PMAC support, and then turn
on whatever platform I want.

That's the point behind my patch.  The default is on, so anyone
creating a non-CHRP or non-PMAC platform has to do extra work.

And the argument that embedded platforms aren't as important as the
exalted CHRP is bollocks.  All platforms should be treated equally.
And like I said earlier, PMAC platforms aren't even being built any
more, so it's ridiculous to consider that the default.
