Yup, that too.  Also, if you're doing this in an automated build
environment, use the 'oldconfig_nonint' target, instead of 'oldconfig'.
'nonint' means 'non-interrupting', i.e, it will default all config options
instead of prompting you, so your build script won't hang.
'oldconfig_nonint' is, I believe, a Redhat patch to the kernel build
environment, so you won't find it in a kernel tarball from kernel.org.
