We could just alias commands so when the user runs "make ARCH=arm omap3_evm_defconfig" it would just do whatever this command does , "KBUILD_KCONFIG=arch/arm/configs/Kconfig.omap3_evm make allnoconfig" but those Kconfigs wouldn't be in "make menuconfig" it would just exist to generate the defconfigs, or the .config .. So Kconfig.omap3_evm basically becomes the defconfig. That doesn't seem un-reasonable. Although the solver to me seems more elegant and we're getting the solver for some other reasons it seems (unrelated to this defconfig issue).
