The basic "framework" is to have arch/foo/configs and place all of your board-specific defconfigs in there (as boardname_defconfig -- the reason for this is that you get free make targets of the same name which copy the defconfig over, see 'make help'). If you have a particular board that you can assume will be kept reasonably up-to-date, you can set KBUILD_DEFCONFIG in your Makefile to set the default config to use by name, and then you can forego having an arch/foo/defconfig entirely (you can look at sh and some of the other architectures to see this being done).
