Given that we have all those defconfigs, it'd be nice to know what
they're all for.  Appended please find a patch to add a documentation
file to explain them.  As I'm not really sure what they all really
*are* for, this is just a starting point.

+The following `canned' configurations are available.  These often get
+quite out of date, but are a good starting point:
+
+In arch/ia64/
+  defconfig --- a `Generic' configuration that should boot on
+               many IA64 platforms.  It does not boot on the
+               HP simulator.
+  configs/bigsur_defconfig --- i2000 and similar Itanium-1 machines.
+  configs/sim_defconfig --- for the HP `Ski' simulator.
+  configs/sn2_defconfig --- for SGI Altix machines.
+  configs/tiger_defconfig --- for many SMP Itanium-2 machines, other
+                             than the Altix.
+  configs/zx1_defconfig --- for machines based on HP's ZX1 chipset,
+                           such as the zx2000 workstation.
