Why not, I had to spend hours to come up with this one, it has
general use and is good for my compile tests. Also policies
change, consistency isn't our best game.

Arnd, Olof: can I have this defconfig?

Itr's not like I can't deal with rejection but I want some rationale.

I can send it directly to SoC so you don't need to deal
with it as long as you approve of the usefulness.
