Thanks for your patch!

Given these defconfigs enable ReiserFS as a module (not built-in),
and that ReiserFS is still available upstream, and enabled by distros
like Debian, I would like to keep it that way.
The m68k defconfigs will be updated after the removal of ReiserFS,
as part of the regular defconfig resync.
