for you to fetch changes up to 6b87b70c5339f30e3c5b32085e69625906513dc2:

  unbreak allmodconfig KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=... (2016-02-01 15:12:40 +0100)

Al Viro (1):
      unbreak allmodconfig KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=...

I can now indeed drop the

    CONFIG_MODULES=y

line from my

    allmod.config

However, this fix has the side-effect of enabling CONFIG_MODULES silently for

    make allyesconfig KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=1

Adding an explicit

    CONFIG_MODULES=n

to the allyes.config file fixes that.

IMHO CONFIG_MODULES should default to y when using allmodconfig, and
default to n when using allyesconfig.
