	It is my understanding that if a "defaults" file exists for any
task, it is A Very Bad Idea(tm) to change it.  There should be a
file which contains over-ride settings; change things there instead.
In the case of kernel configuration, everything can be configured
from /sys/<arch>/conf/<KERNELNAME>.
