  Spot beat me to it, but I just wanted to add that I've found the
"oldconfig" target to be VERY useful.  I tend to update my kernels often
on my x86 boxes, and if you copy your previous config into the new
kernel directory, oldconfig will bring up JUST those half dozen or so
new options that have been introduced since the last version, so you
know pretty well what has changed, or at least, what's new.
