One way would be "make oldconfig" their starting-point then add it your
arch-specific needs.

But we shouldn't be patching configs, but defconfigs.

If you do make savedefconfig, it'll create you a file "defconfig" that
just contains the delta from your .config and "all defaults".

If you use that to create patches against the defconfigs, you'll find
you're dealing with much shorter deltas that 793 lines.
