I have found out the hard way that make oldconfig is not totally
reliable - for example, it will change some  = Y settings to = M
settings silently.  Consequently, the only time I use make oldconfig is
when upgrading to a new kernel level so that I can be notified of new
settings, and then after make oldconfig I go through every setting with
a fine tooth comb using make menuconfig.
