Ingo/Thomas,

I noticed that the default HZ value was switched back to 1000 (from 250)
about an year back. The commit log didn't have any details about the
switch, and I was wondering what prompted that change ?

    x86: defconfig updates

    refresh 32-bit defconfig too, and update the 64-bit configs as well,
    the defconfig should be much more useful by default, so most of the
    updates are the enabling of various options.
