Hi Stephen - it was Stepehn Rothwell I had in mind when I wrote the above :-)

Anyway - I can see that only "cris m68k parisc s390 sparc sparc64 um" lacks
the include of drivers/scsi/pcmcia/Kconfig.
So I will try to add it to drivers/Kconfig in my tree and see it -next
blows up. I will wait until next -next as I want to see my current
pending patches there in a clean run first.
