I had a discussion on what is best left under ARCH and what is best
left to defconfig with Kevin Hilman a while back and the conclusion
was that any config not strictly required for bootup is best left to
defconfig. This will allow multiplatform kernels to switch to using
them as loadable modules later on, something not possible with configs
put under ARCH_xxx.
