I notice there's a config-generic. What is this supposed to be for?
I'd expect it to contain the policy level kernel decisions like yes/no
for
process accounting, ipv6, netlink, security etc.
basically how it works is that you have
config-generic -- contains all standard answers for all config options
config-<arch>-generic -- architecture specific overrides on top of
config-generic
config-<board> -- overrides that are board specific on top of
config-<arch>-generic
the goal for the last two config files is to be as small as possible;
basically any option
that is not strictly required to be different should not be in them.

just to be clear; the later two are *overlays*. They inherit all options from
the previous layer in the stack
that are not in these config files themselves.
Typically on a PC like platform, the platform specific one tends to be around a
dozen options only, the rest is generic.
