When executing "make oldconfig", the Configure script nicely prints all the configuration questions whose answers are being taken from your old .config file. But it doesn't print the answers, so the resulting output is useless to document the configuration or explain what the CONFIG_* symbols mean.
The following patch causes the default answers to be printed, followed by "[defaulted]", so you know they are not user input.
