We use a fixed rootfs image to test the kernel.  For simplicity we don't 
construct a rootfs or load any modules.  We just test the kernel image. 
So for us every defconfig we use needs to be set to y to use the 
upstreamed kernel.

Plus, how do you NFS mount a rootfs if the ethernet driver is a loadable 
module?
