Seems to me that the brokenness of select is the main technical issue
stopping us getting rid of the defconfigs. If there was a way to tell
the Kconfig machinery "I want CONFIG_USB on, you figure out what has
to be enabled for that to make sense" then it would all work. But
that's a hard problem (and may possibly have multiple solutions).
