Hi Przemek,

I find if I'm configuring for a new machine, I need to do_patch, copy a 
"close" defconfig into place, run make menuconfig, and copy the .config 
back to the filesdir where it belongs. The menuconfig task doesn't save 
much, as you still have to copy the defconfigs around. I don't use the 
task for that reason, and maybe others are in the same boat.

I think you're right about the order, though; if you sent a patch, I 
would ack it, for what it's worth.
