If the below listed configs are not harmful i would like to keep all listed
configs. Because we (Linaro 's test farm) building kernels with maximum
available kernel fragments for a given test case to get better coverage.

"make kselftest-merge"
will get configs from tools/testing/selftests/*/config
and enables configs fragments and we build kernel for running
kvm-unit-tests, kselftests, LTP, libhugetlbfs, ssuite, perf and
v4l2-compliance.
