 FWIW, it should be easy to ship a config file for that soekris, which
just does:

include GENERIC
device mptable

It may be worthwhile at least considering this (along with a couple of
comments explaining why the default kernel doesn't work on the soekris
board) for 9.0.

Question: can you load it at boottime as a module?
