Subject: [Q] CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER doesn't get enabled upon defconfig

Hi all

CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER is marked default "y" in fs/notify/inotify/Kconfig, 
so, I would expect it to be enabled by any make *_defconfig. However, for 
some reason, this doesn't happen (e.g. with mackerel_defconfig), which 
leads to non-functional udev, among others. Any idea why this could be 
happening?

Thanks
Guennadi
