Well some boards have a limit on the size of U-Boot. The defaults
enables lots of things, including ext and fat filesystems, partition
types, booti/z for ARM, etc.

I have not locked at what a minimal board requires. But if you know
what you are doing, you could drop BOOT_DEFAULTS and BOOTSTD_DEFAULTS
or DISTRO_DEFAULTS and manually enable just what you need.

OK, sure. The really big thing is booting EFI images -
CONFIG_EFI_LOADER. It adds over 100KB I think.
