Hi,

The CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION disabling should be done in the Kconfig not
here. 

I'm not that keen on another defconfig.  benh is already talking about
having a powernv defconfig.  I'm worried we are going to fragment the
defconfigs.  If you want something special like LE, then change the
default one.

I agree we don't want machine specific defconfigs, but I think it makes
sense to have ones that cover the key options that conflict. I'm
thinking 32bit, 64bit, 64bit BookE, 64bit LE etc.

One bonus is if we have a smaller set of defconfigs we might actually
get better testing. I have no idea which 32bit defconfigs I should test
for example, and I'm not going to test them all!

FWIW, I test with these configs and it seems to catch most of 32/64 bit,
SMP/UP, differnt MMU issues:

  pseries_defconfig 
  ppc64_defconfig 
  ppc64e_defconfig 
  pmac32_defconfig
  ppc44x_defconfig 
  ppc6xx_defconfig 
  mpc85xx_smp_defconfig
  mpc85xx_defconfig 
  chroma_defconfig 

  ps3_defconfig 
  celleb_defconfig

I think cell_defconfig pretty much covers these too, and also gets you
coverage of the IBM blades.

And add randconfig too :)

cheers
