We normally don't try to be too "smart ass" with the config files and
try to use the ones shipped with the kernel if they work - after all you
can't cover every use scenario out there and we just expect the boards
to boot properly (which the default config will probably do).
Also since the arietta has at least 128MB RAM and boots from SD (plenty
of flash) the bloat scenario isn't severe (many kernel options are built
as modules).
