Not from 'make foo_defconfig', but from 'make menuconfig'.
If in the buildroot config I select 'Use omap2plus defconfig' for the
kernel, then I expect it to use the omap2plus configuration. Similarly,
if I set the custom linux config to /some/path/linux.config, then I
expect that that configuration will be used.
So 'configured' is what you see in 'make menuconfig', 'customized' is
what you see in 'make linux-menuconfig'.

But the problem is that the buildroot configuration conflicts with the
kernel configuration.
