Admittedly, we don't have a setup to test too many upstream kernel 
builds with configs other than what our distros are shipping with.  We 
do test build specific earlier kernel releases that are current with the 
distro to insure (or at least understand) back port issues.

I will try this "allyesconfig" though I believe it introduces CONFIG 
items that cause problems where the resultant kernel doesn't boot on a 
UV system.  But if building is the only goal, then we can ignore them.

Are there any other standard configs that are required to build when 
CONFIG_X86_UV is defined?  (Since all of these changes are within the UV 
specific code.)

Thanks,
Mike
