If you mean adding a "config NO_ATA_LEGACY" entry to some Kconfig file,
and setting that symbol during "make *config", that will obviously work.

But if you mean (hand) editing the .config, that wouldn't work, as the
line for CONFIG_NO_ATA_LEGACY would be dropped during "make *config",
wouldn't it?
