How do I easily refresh it to pick up new stuff from target/linux/x86/64/config-${KVER} (where KVER=5.15 currently)?  Is there a handy script or make target to do this?

Right, but what does that involve?  Will it pick up new symbols from the new kernel target?  If there's a new default in 5.15 that wasn't in 5.10, how does it find its way into my config?

I tried diffing target/linux/x86/64/config-5.15 and env/kernel-config and there's a whole lot of changes.

Or is env/kernel-config the delta from the defaults for any given kernel version in config-${KVER}?
