I did not even dare to try booting 128 megabyte allyesconfig monstrosity,
before you asked.

It took me 4 hours of rebuilds to figure out that CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL needs to be
disabled for my qemu boot to succeed :) :)

So, yes, patched allyesconfig kernel seems to boot... it takes 250 seconds in qemu.
