They are good for item in your mainboard Kconfig. But, if you want to set
defaults in northbridge, southbridge, or superio, it would be really nice
to have a defconfig. I think would make things alot easier for a coreboot
newbie.

For example, to add a vga bios, you wouldn't have to add vender,device
...it would already be there in menuconfig.
