The idea is to have a minimal config file. If it's listed in
armel/config, you don't need to list it in armel/config.xxx. If it's
listed in config/config, you don't need to list it in armel/config.xxx
(the only exception I make to this rule is for stuff that's really
crucial for a platform; in that case, I list it anyway since
config/config could change and break the platform). If an option is
selected by another option, you only need to list the latter (for
example, ARCH_KIRKWOOD selects CPU_FEROCEON and PCI, so there's no
need to add these two options to the config file).
So basically: take the config file you sent and check if the options
are listed in armel/config.xxx. or config/config. If they are there,
drop them from your config. For example, the config you submitted
contains CONFIG_NET=y but this is already listed in config/config so
you can drop it.
