BTW, looking at the most common entries in there, I think we might at some
point want to change some of the defaults in the respective Kconfig files.
Right now an empty defconfig would result in a configuration without
file system, networking or modules:

sort arch/arm/configs/* | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 30
    114 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
    116 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y
    116 CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/sbin/hotplug"
    117 CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
    118 CONFIG_MTD_CHAR=y
    119 CONFIG_INOTIFY=y
    122 # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_BSG is not set
    122 CONFIG_IP_PNP=y
    123 # CONFIG_IPV6 is not set
    123 CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK=y
    125 CONFIG_FPE_NWFPE=y
    127 CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y
    128 CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=14
    128 CONFIG_MTD=y
    131 CONFIG_PACKET=y
    132 # CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE is not set
    133 CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
    134 CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y
    138 CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
    139 CONFIG_TMPFS=y
    142 CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
    147 CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_BSS=0x0
    147 CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT=0x0
    151 CONFIG_INET=y
    151 CONFIG_UNIX=y
    153 CONFIG_NET=y
    156 # CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE is not set
    158 CONFIG_MODULES=y
    164 CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
    174 CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y

Also, some of the defconfigs contain stuff that arguably does not belong
into a defconfig and could be removed in the next merge window, e.g.

ezx_defconfig:CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-ezx200910312315"
pnx4008_defconfig:CONFIG_DECNET=m
at572d940hfek_defconfig:CONFIG_SGI_PARTITION=y
