That would not have covered the following drivers in this patch on ARM
then:

acorn/*
nwflash
i2c-iop3xx
i2c-s3c2410
ether1
ether3
etherh
omap_cf
pxa2xx_lubbock
sa1100_badge4
sa1100_cerf
sa1100_h3600
sa1100_jornada720
sa1100_neponset
sa1100_shannon
sa1100_simpad
acornscsi
arxescsi
cumana_1
cumana_2
ecoscsi
eesox
fas216
oak
powertec
at91_udc
omap_udc
pxa2xx_udc
zaurus

To cover these, you need to build at least rpc_defconfig, lubbock_defconfig,
netwinder_defconfig, badge4_defconfig, cerf_defconfig, ...etc...

The whole "all*config" idea on ARM is utterly useless - you can _not_
get build coverage that way.
