In this commit, you are changing the defconfigs that use
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_SAME_AS_HEADERS. But I am wondering if we shouldn't
simply change *all* defconfigs to use this new feature. Essentially all
defconfigs have to worry about selecting a kernel headers version that
matches the kernel version they use. We could switch them all to use
your new mechanism, no?

Of course, this can be done as a separate effort, this is not a call
to change this particular patch, but rather a discussion on what to do
next.
