Yes, I think there's a more efficient way to do it, but it would
require the SAT resolver, or something like that.

I think you got it wrong. Linus liked my proposal of minimal
defconfigs, and the only discrepancy was on the format:

Note that no kernel is built at all, only the config is regenerated once
for each line.

You could special case blank lines and comments (other than ones
like "# CONFIG_FOO is not set" which do matter). They account for
~15% of the lines in my .config files. But it probably doesn't matter
all that much. I just ran reduce_defconfig in parallel on all the ia64
defconfig files (in separate build trees) and they were all done when
I looked back an hour or so later. Nice tool!
