Everyone needs a different '.config' if they are trying to customize for their own personal hardware. My own experience with this involved spending an entire day in January 2010 tracking down which options I could disable. I also changed most 'M' options to 'Y' so that drivers would be built directly into the kernel instead of as a separate loadable module. (My goal was to produce a kernel that boots without an initrd; most people will not share that goal.) Sven Joachim's suggestion to create a new '.config' using 'make localmonconfig' should mostly have the desired effect, the result could then be fine-tuned. If that option had existed when I was learning about this, it would have saved me many, many hours! Good luck!
