Personally I don't use bitbake to configure my kernel. What I could 
recommend is to checkout the kernel of your choice, and then use the 
cross-compiler to configure / build the kernel, almost like you would do 
for an x86 kernel. This way is far more flexible I think. It requires a 
little more work first, but then it will save you a lot of time, 
depending on what kind of tests you are doing.

Once you have a good configuration, you can always create your own 
bitbake kernel recipe (just copy / paste an old one) and add your own 
.config file.
