While I respect your points of view, our defconfigs are oriented towards 
kernel developers.  This is particularly important when right now the only 
RISC-V hardware on the market are test chips.  Our expectation is that 
distros and benchmarkers will create their own Kconfigs for their needs.

Going forward, we'll probably add a few more validation and debug options, 
as Palmer suggested during the patch discussion.
