Just a few questions on how your patch works. I'm just wondering if the 
behavior I'm seeing is the intended behavior. I applied your patch. 
Then copied my .config to configs/myconfig_defconfig, then running make 
myconfig_defconfig, it basically copies my config to the .config which 
is then used in the following make to make the target. Is that what is 
supposed to happen?
