-The allyesconfig/allmodconfig/allnoconfig/randconfig variants can
-also use the environment variable KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG as a flag or a
-filename that contains config symbols that the user requires to be
-set to a specific value. If KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG is used without a
-filename, "make *config" checks for a file named
-"all{yes/mod/no/def/random}.config" (corresponding to the *config command
-that was used) for symbol values that are to be forced. If this file
-is not found, it checks for a file named "all.config" to contain forced
-values.

This enables you to create "miniature" config (miniconfig) or custom
config files containing just the config symbols that you are interested
