Thanks for spotting that.  Presumably it's the result of poor me trying
to maintain a large Kconfig shuffle for six weeks while the million mad
monkeys are plinking away changing stuff.

I just shouldn't merge things like this in mid-rc - they're not worth
the effort and risk.  I sometimes tell people "go away and come back in
very late -rc".  I'll do that more often.
