I've just been informed by Fengguang that this patch breaks yet another
use-case of his, but this time KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG is not involved.

I'll investigate this issue when I'm back home tonight (ie. ~16:00 UTC).
Sorry for the breakage (again...). :-(

We really need a known, shared test-suite for kconfig... :-/
