We need to go with an approach which isn't going to break allnoconfig
and randconfig.

I've suggested that we should have a basic, minimalist platform always
built in for DT supporting kernels.  I've actually suggested that we
should end up not having a machine_desc at all once the DT conversion
is complete.  Either of those solves the problem of us ending up with
no platform support built with these configurations.

The alternative is we end up with quite a long disgusting Kconfig
option which becomes enabled when everything but Versatile Express
is disabled...
