We use a fixed rootfs image to test the kernel. For simplicity we don't
construct a rootfs or load any modules. We just test the kernel image.
So for us every defconfig we use needs to be set to y to use the
upstreamed kernel.

Plus, how do you NFS mount a rootfs if the ethernet driver is a loadable
module?
