The issue with "make allyesconfig" concerns me, although the same

guess we really want is to be able to specify a few specific choices.
I don't know enough about Kbuild to know if it's possible or not, but I
would find it great if the *config targets could take CONFIG_ variables
on the command line, like:
make oldconfig CONFIG_SMP=y
If it's not possible, why not inherit the CONFIG_ options from environment
variables, like we already do for $CFLAGS, but only at make *config
time in this case?
It probably can only be done at *config time (and probably *should* only
be done at *config time); but it seems like it would be a
straightforward addition to Kconfig to look in the environment for
variables named CONFIG_* just like it'd look in an old config file.
That would definitely resolve a lot of issues.
