That's fine, but my test script basically takes any Kconfig options in
the mainline or subversion directories (as appopriate) and set them to
module (I did not see enough variance yet between modular and built-in
to keep testing both -- and only doing modular halves the test time
required (around 10 hours right now for 8 runs)). So, once AT is
removed, it won't be tested, per se. But as long as it's in svn, it will
be built.
