I agree it's out of control.

I would like to reduce the configs too, but the issue of knowing
which drivers and modules to build is still unhandled unfortunately.

Yes sorry about that.

I do, I'm having the same problem just building the omap configs
on my box!

Happy vacation & thanks for all the hard work. Hopefully we can still
have kautobuild.. If you really insist on removing these defconfigs
to keep kautobuild going, I'm cool with that. That still does not
solve the remaining issue though on how to know the drivers and modules
needed for each board.
