SH has a lot of variation across its defconfigs, so it's pretty difficult to catch everything, this is largely what we rely on randconfigs and allmod/yes/noconfigs for, which are all part of the regular daily builds, in addition to the 50 or so other configs.
The defconfig itself is aimed at covering the common cases. Config options that people will generally have enabled, and are likely to run in to issues with. Anything else we just have to fix up incrementally and hope that daily builds/regression testing catches the rest.
ARM suffers from the same problem in that it's really impossible to get decent coverage in a single config.
