Is there already a make config option that will do a good job at setting a default .config file based on what is already running on a system?
I get tiered of trimming down my .config for my laptop build so it takes less than 30min to build a kernel.
Bonus credit to additional "expert" options (like those powertop puts out) for target uses, laptop, HPC, home file share, embedded targets....
Oh, and lets make the expert configs easily extensible.
