Patch 2 of this patch series does exactly that. Hopefully this will prove uncontroversial. To avoid extraneous noise in patch 2, I first updated the defconfigs to match the current results of "make defconfig && make savedefconfig", resulting in patch 1. Finally, while reviewing the defconfigs, I also ran into a few other random things to clean up, resulting in patches 3-5. Patch 3 disables some library code that only exists to support out-of-tree modules (in-tree modules properly depend on it); patch 4 disables initrd support (in favor of initramfs); patch 5 disables a special-purpose test module that represents the one and only module built by default. These seem reasonable to me, but if anyone finds one of these three changes objectionable, please feel free to drop that change. I primarily care about getting patches 1-2 merged, to avoid a very common annoyance.
