There are several things here

1) If there is an architecture patch available for an architecture,
   then it should have default yes.
   I can't think of a situation where you prefer not to apply
   the architecture patch for the AT91 or AVR32.
   The only reason is that you are building a kernel for where
   there is no valid patch.
   If there is no architecture patch, then obviously 
   it should be default no.

2) I think that we should reduce the choice to 
   only have no kernel or the advanced configuration.

3) For copy to, that should be collected to a single copy to
