Hi Masahiro,
Could you please consider this patch?
Thanks,

Recently there has been some work in reporting and fixing bugs in booting
an allmodconfig kernel - here are a few examples:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-edac/304df85b-8b56-b77e-1a11-aa23769f2e7c@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t

If we want to boot an allmodconfig kernel we may still want to force some
loadable modules built-in, like UART drivers. Or just still turn off some
configs.
So add an option to add add fragments to an allmodconfig kernel.
